SporeView  v1.0
by Stefan Jeworowski & Stefan Preuss

To install this BackSpace-Module copy the SporView.BackModule file to /LocalLibrary/BackSpaceViews or ~/Library/BackSpaceViews

This is a simulation of three types of spores. Each Spore has the following life cyclus:
 - birth
 - eating
 - reproduction
 - death

For reproduction the Spores need energy. To get energy the Spores eat each other.

There are two different simulation modes:
- each Spore kind can eat the other Spore kinds 
  ( r<->g<->b<->r )
- each Spore kind can eat only one other kind of 
  Spores ( r->g->b->r )

If a Spore has enough energy it reproduces itself as often as possible. For the reproduction the Spores consume energy. If a Spore gets out of energy it will die.

The simulation looks best on a color display. The intensity of the Spores represents the energy of it. On the bottom of the screen you see a population statistic.

You can modify some simulation parameter:

- start Population: range from 3 to 200
- max. Population: range from 200 to 50000
- start spread: range from 5 to100
- start cloud: range 5 to 100

The source may look a little bit confusing because the simulation-code is ported from the ATARI TC-Compiler. 

Feel free to send me suggestions/comments.

Have fun,
   Stefan
