BAUM BAUM BAUM.... Maybe we could have different divisions. Beginner, and advanced. In advanced, your program would have to update itself... *creepy sci-fi music*
- Code: Select all
#include <stdio.h>
struct W{char m,M[4??),w;void x(char
*W)??<w^=w;while(w[W]!=0)putchar(W[w
]^M[w++%5??));}W():m(040),w(0){char*
X="d@PLfAU\x05P)sHEMoTTPF""\31";for(
;w<5;w++[M??)=m++);x(X);}}w;main(){}

I'm assuming that because 10 people have voted yes, they'd enter. I think now its just a matter of setting it up.

That's crazy, just attack them for no reason at all. 
Anyway, now we have to decide what the game engine will end up being. For example, will the animals have to eat? Will it be on a grid, so animals can only attack other animals when they are close? Or can you just have animal.attack() anytime? And what's to stop people fom doing animal.kill_everything()?
This will take a lot of work, but it sounds like great fun.

Hahaha I'd make one that would hide and then train itself to become powerful and then kill everyone
I can see Tilex hiding behind a tree, training his killer ninja koala bear.

Enough people have showed interest in this contest so it is going ahead!
So I have begun coding the Animal base class and I have decided to make two more classes: Herbivore and Carnivore (derived from Animal). These will be the two that you derive from. As you can probably guess Harbivores can only eat grass and plants, and Carnivores can only eat other animals.
As far as attacking goes, Carnivores can attack other animals to kill them. Once an animal is dead any other Carnivore can eat it or part of it. This means that your animals could travel round in packs killing and eating things.
The ability to hide will be created. Once hidden, other animals will have to be alot closer to see/detect you and you can ambush things instead of attacking them.
A stat system will be implemented. You will mainly get stat points for doing things (eg. get speed for moving around alot). When you eat something you can get some of its of its stats. Also when breeding, the new animal will have for example 40% of its mum's stats + 40% of its dad's stats to begin with. When an animal is initially created it will be given a few stat points to allocate.
