VirusGame in Rust

VirusGameRust

VirusGame with a spin on it, rewritten in Rust and Bevy.

Todos

• - Implement cells/walls that do nothing lol
• - Implement particle functionality
• - Implement food spawner
• - Implement simple food -> energy -> waste cycle with a spin on it (eat -> get energy -> consume energy -> free itself up from waste to get more energy)
• - Implement simple genes (OG VirusGame basis) functionality
• - Implement cell walls BLOCKED
• - Mutations
• - Implement codons visual representation
• - Implement UGOs
• - Fix miniscule food uptake
• - Implement more advanced waste/ugo removal system [After walls]
• - Implement advanced genes functionality (Change gene reading direction)
• - Implement multiplication for cells
• - GUI editor for cell genes/ugos
• - Speed controls (play/pause, faster, slower)
• - Simulation settings in general
• - Stats (alive, mutations, "natural" vs "replicated")
• - Pan/zoom camera

Nice to haves

• - Write up what genes do
• - Graphs for stats
• - Gene stats + graphs (most common snips, gene strings)
• - More complex genes (regulate mutation rate, cell ticking rate etc.)
• - Food production/storage by cells themselves
• - Toggle to use only original genes + functionality (maybe)
• - World exporting/importing
• - Cell/organism importing/exporting
• - Cell communication (hormones/pheromones)

Run instructions

1. Get Rust
2. For quicker builds get LLD
3. cargo run for developing, cargo run --release to run with all optimizations.
