The Evolution of Predation in a Simulated Ecosystem

Welcome back!

I recently decided to embark on a quest to unlock the evasive dynamic of predation!
Predation is extremely rare in artificial life simulations that don't hard-code it directly.
For The Bibites, I want to make the EVOLUTION of predation possible.
Considering The Bibites is an open-ended simulation, there's a lot of details that need to be just right to make that possible.

This is going to be the first episode of the series where I'll try to achieve that.
In this one, I'll present a few basic principles of biology and ecology in order to show you just how hard of a task it will be.

=================================

The Bibites is an Artificial Life (Living AI!) simulation where I recreate some biological processes and let the lifeforms live, eat, reproduce, and mutate, leading to active evolution.
Their can evolve their body through a genetic algorithm and their behavior through a custom neural network algorithm.
