Description:
I made this engine a few months back just to see if I could. I got pretty far with it, but I never ended up using it for anything and just stopped working on it (I never finish anything... ). I was browsing through some old files today and I decided to release this engine since I have no use for it and someone could learn from it.

You will need GM7 Pro to open and use the file. I do NOT want to hear that you do not have GM7 and that I should put it in GM6 format. That is not my problem. If someone wants to take their time and copy the scripts and objects to a GM6 file, I will gladly put a link to it in this post.

Features:

• Great FPS! (55-60 with 300 objects on my crappy computer)
• Three types of organisms
• Rain
• Names for all organisms
• Herbivores
• Carnivores
• Plants
• Water
• Saving and loading of organisms
• Killing and cloning of organisms
• Organisms grow
• Organisms can die of dehydration, starvation, or being eaten
• Semi-intelligent A.I. (searching for food, water, etc.)
• Speeding up and slowing down time
• Information (type, name, age, size, generation, hunger, thirst, gender) is displayed when organisms are clicked
• Probably more that I am forgetting...

Controls:

• Left Mouse Button - Select organisms
• Right Mouse Button - Deselect organisms
• Middle Mouse Button - Create organism (determined by the numbers below)
• 1 Key - plant
• 2 Key - herbivore
• 3 Key - carnivore
• 4 Key - water
• Up Key - speed up time
• Down Key - speed down time

@gamemakeraaron:
You wrote "somwthing" instead of "something".
Probably your finger slipped!

@Austin6641:
Great engine. Love it. I'll make something cool with it for sure.

Yes, but you will have to figure that out yourself. Right now, there are no sprites.

[Paul1582]

That's the best part of it; no sprites.
This proves graphics don't make a great game
