Natural Life Engine Survival Tournament Dynamics
The Life Engine creator runs a “survival of the fittest” tournament for community-submitted organisms, this time restricted to purely natural creatures evolved or built in-engine rather than JSON-hacked “unnatural” designs.
Producer–Predator–Armor Triad in Natural Life Engine Ecosystems
Natural Life Engine organisms fall into three broad strategic roles in the tournament: dense moving producers, nimble predators, and heavily armored hybrids like “ball.”
Ball and Multicross: Emergent Mutualism Between Armor and Predator
“Ball,” a heavily armored moving producer, and “Multicross,” a successful predator species, together dominate the survival-of-the-fittest tournament in Life Engine despite each having weaknesses in one-on-one matchups.
Community Creations and Organic Computers in Life Engine
Life Engine community members build not just organisms but full “organic computers” and artistic worlds, using cell behaviors as logic gates and food as input signals.
