Welcome to the Incredible World of the Bibites!
The Bibites is an Artificial Life Simulation with the ambitious goal of proving that life does not have to be carbon based.
Join The Bibites community in using the power of evolution to create digital creatures of unlimited complexity. Each Bibite has a unique brain and genetic information that evolves over generations. What will your Bibites become?
Custom Sand Box Worlds
Create your own digital worlds using various physical and biological parameters then populate them with bibite save files or templates. Play a benevolent god by assisting your bibites in their struggle for survival, or challenge them with desert like conditions where only the best can survive. The choice is yours.
Complex Artificial Life
Watch as your world explodes with diverse life! Through the pressures of natural selection, bibites evolve to fill various environmental roles including predation and parasitism. With their Neural Network brains and pheromone system they can even learn to communicate and work together.
Analyze
Unlock the secrets hidden within your worlds with various in-game tools. Follow your Bibite's ancestral journey with family trees and lineage views, or, analyze the population's stats and genetic information over time.
Compete!
Test your Bibite's strength by submitting them to Challenge Levels, where they compete in diverse trials or against bosses, unlocking new content, achievements, and a chance to dominate the community leaderboards. Will your bibite reign supreme?Back By Popular Demand!
We are Hosting Another Official Tournament
\nGet ready for the second official bibite tournament, a Bibite\'s Battle Royale! If you missed the first tournament, here is how it [u]went[/u] .
The map features a deadly \"Red Death\" algae bloom that creeps in from the edges, forcing bibites to the center. It\'s toxic to bibites and consumes pellets. Bibites can detect it by the red pheromones it produces.\n

Each biome has a limited number of finalist slots proportional to its biomass.

(There was a bug with the red death in 0.6.2 make sure to update to 0.6.2.1 if you use [u]itch.io[/u] , done automatically if you use steam)
IMPORTANT! Helpful hints and map information:
Selection Round Free-For-Alls: For each of the four biomes, we will run a selection round free-for-all. The rounds will end once the number of species remaining is equal to the biome slot count. Those surviving species will be finalists and move on to the Battle Royale.
15Ku map size
[/*]The Red Death will sit at the periphery of the map but will not encroach
[/*]
The Main Event: Battle Royale: Finalists (5 individuals per bibite) spawn in their chosen biome. Red Death will slowly advance creating a small central safe zone in 5hrs and finally completely covering the map in 10 hours.. The last species alive wins and is crowned the champion

For All Maps
5 of each contestant species will be spawned as adults at the beginning to initialize the simulations.
[/*]The algae bloom produces red pheromones that are most concentrated at the blooms edge and red phero1angle will point to this area of highest concentration. However, red phero1heading will always point in the direction the bloom is heading (to the center of the map)
[/*]Herding is turned off for this tournament
[/*]Mutations are turned off for the tournament (but not for the shared training maps)
[/*]Bibites will NOT be able to release red pheromones
[/*]All other settings are default except for biomass and fertility which are biome dependent
