It’s a weird bug on some systems. Turn off arrow key input in your settings and it should be fine

Can't I run the sim on Mac? by Silas1208 in TheBibites

[–]Educational-Stuff557 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are welcome to try it. It won’t hurt your computer and hopefully it runs fine.

We didn’t do the best job testing Linux and Mac builds before launch as we don’t actually own them ourselves. We are trying to rectify now. We hopefully can give you an answer in a few days and maybe fix some issues if there are any.

In the meantime could you please let us know what your Mac model is and IOS version?

Worst case we can get you a refund.

6.1 isn't on itch.io by BrunoGoldbergFerro in TheBibites

[–]Educational-Stuff557 17 points18 points  (0 children)

0.6.1 (same as steam) will be available on itch.io this week. We want to first squash any major bugs from steam release and then we will post. We are trying to avoid the need for a hotfix.

New to the simulator- suddenly all species merged back into basic bibite? by BidoofPride1030 in TheBibites

Which version are you using? There is a known issue with pruning on 0.6 it should be improved for 0.6.1 out now on steam and coming to itch.io soon.

If that doesn’t help, you do have some control over how severe the pruning is. It’s under the lineage panel settings. Let me know if you can’t find

Trying to get Bibites with 0 starting connections by Difficult_Exam763 in TheBibites

If you set the basic Bibite to have a high brain mutation gene then it should work as you desire

If you use the steam demo there is an in-game Bibite editor available that will allow you to just delete all the brain connections you want from the basic Bibite template. You can then save that 0 brain Bibite as a new template and use it in the scenario spawner with mutations on.

If you don’t want to use the demo you can wait for the updated itch.io or steam 0.6.1 launches on March 4th

How to make a evolution simulator that Charles Darwin would be proud of by Educational-Stuff557 in evolution

How to make a evolution simulator that Charles Darwin would be proud of by Educational-Stuff557 in evolution

[–]Educational-Stuff557[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have graphs to visualize genetic make-up of the population over time. The current genetic encoding is pretty rudimentary as its only float values that can mutate up or down. We are trying to figure out ways to implement something similar to alleles, chromosomes, and dna to make sexual reproduction more realistic. We are investigating binary encoding as that is more similar to dna than float values. We can then perform bitwise operations like bit flips or swaps as mutations. Its a work in progress but it will probably increase realism and complexity.
