Well done. I didn't read the description beforehand so the entire story was a surprise to me. Was this based on personal experience?

yeah -- I'd make a donation for this to go up on github. :-D

Thanks so much for giving it a shot, Jupiter. In case you are wondering, the stories of the dead from the Choir Unseen are true. 

Take your time! Really digging what you've got so far. :-)

I'll 3rd that. I'd love to be able to tinker with this -- and program it to be more unix-like.

It still does what it says on the box.

SOLVED --

In short, my graphics card was too old.

In detail:
When I checked the Player.log file in .config/unity3d/Pixel\ Vision\ 8/Game\ Creator\ Pro/ it complained that the openGL version is out of date. It turns out the the graphics card is not compatable with OpenGL 3.2 -- which Unity games require to run.

Switched to a different computer -- no problems.

- Game won't start when booted from icon

- Execution permissions applied.

Output of launching via command line:

A window boots up for a fraction of a second and then closes.

- I am assuming this has something to do with the xrandr picking up 3 "screens". I am on a laptop with a single screen -- but there's a VIRTUAL1 screen and a VGA that I've assured are disabled by running xrandr.

- I think this may be an issue with my older hardware and unity. I'm going to run another unity game to check.

Cute little game. :-)

Agreed. I am very much looking forward to the linux update -- but I haven't heard anything yet.

I totally understand. There's no init file, then? Maybe put the source up?

is there some way to get 1.5 running on Linux?

This is really cool -- is there any way to set your own starting conditions? Speed up the evolution time? Record population as a function of some variable over time?

That'd be really useful and really cool for people studying computational evolutionary biology. :-D

Does what it says on the box.
