Welcome to ADVERSITY
You begin with 20 organisms.
Over time, they eat, reproduce, flee predators, and deal with environmental hazards
Every so often, they have to face Adversity.
That's where you come in...
This is a console interface 'game' where you have only indirect control over the evolution of your organisms. You may manipulate the environment, and then natural selection takes its course.
Unfortunately, even as a Jam entry I only had a few hours to put into this, so there are lots of things I wanted to do that I couldn't get to. See the design.txt file for some tidbits of what I had in mind at various points.

To run from source, you'll need ruby v1.9.3, as well as the highline, faker and require_all gems.
$ ruby ld24.rb
