This massive update have alots of new features!
* Neural networks
Creatures now have brains with logic gates.
Each logic gate can have 2 to 5 inputs that connect to a logic gate (AND, OR, NAND or NOR), the logic gate then connects to an action output.
There are over 500 possible inputs and 6 ouputs.
There are millions of possible behaviours.
A basic example: Food not in front AND Food in Left > outputs turn left.
You can view all the brain information in the new "Brain connections" tab.
* Behaviour genes
Removged all behaviour genes since neural networks can archive a better result.
* Simulation
Simulations now take alot longer.
* Added new user interface
Added more user interface because of neural networks.
Replaced some icons.
* Seasons
Now plants seeds and creatures eggs only hatch on a specific season.
* Day & Night

The map becomes darker during the night.
* Movement
Now creatures move in a more natural way.
