The virtual world : the plants
A plant occupies one whole square. It has a species and an age, but is otherwise not individual. There is no instances of ‘plants’.
Some plants are renderable as 3D objects, others merely provide a texture to use on that square.
Plants do not die naturally, only by exposure or being eaten.
Plants created offline using meta language. ...
Plants reproduce by seeding nearby squares depending on environmental factors:
- Proximity to fellow species (Conway)
- Ambient temperature and humidity
- Proximity to a resource (water/rock)
