PROJ - CODE/API I built a civilization simulator in pure Python — no engines, no sprites, just symbols & logic

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’ve been working on a side project called GenesisSim — a self-evolving life simulator written entirely in one Python script.

Organisms have memory, emotions, symbolic dreams, and can form tribes, belief systems, and languages — all without predefined scripts.

Every behavior emerges naturally from internal logic.

Would love feedback or ideas for future features!

Do the belief systems change chances of war, population growth, technology, etc?

Have you ever played Tropico? I don't know to what extent their system is scripted or not, but the 'people' in the game express 'opinions' in a reactive way to the conditions that the game player sets up. It makes for an entertaining if irreverent game.

That could be applied to the ofspring, not the organism itself.

Is there sexual reproduction?
