TODO

Stage one

to create the framework for evolving creatures:

DONE create a tui based representation of the world with GUI for controlling settings/tweaks
provide a creature implementation plugin architecture so that the decisions creatures make can be 'intelligent' and inheritable
DONE provide a 'dumb' creature plugin with deterministic behaviour for perf testing and tui testing
provide means to implement carnivores and herbivores
DONE provide grass that grows with variable rate to supply stress to the ecosystem
implement some barriers
implement editors to set up barriers and maybe initial state of creatures / grass
DONE provide a mechanism for slowing down or stopping activity (for visualization)
DONE provide a standard set of entity interactions with the world to
- move
- create new entity
- eat another creature / grass
- remove self
- NOT DONE look at nearby cells
STRETCH: implement multi-threaded architecture with current entities distributed in threads
NIRVANA: implement multi host architecture and deploy with kubernetes
- I think I won't do this. Distributing across processes for the trivial work a creature does will not scale
STRETCH provide a debug architecture
- needs to implement a GUI for representing the state of the creature
- e.g. assembler / disassembler and debugger

write some creature plugins
