While playing around with the evolution simulator, I came across a simple bug that I had overlooked that changed the way the graphics were rendered. Setting the cell size to a float value rather than an integer results in "soft" cells, giving a sort of bacteria/mold colony vibe. I liked it so much that I decided to keep it and make a little video out of it. It's not a bug, its a feature! Who needs texture packs? This is probably the only time I will thank javascript for being weakly typed. Besides the rendering bug, I also show the effects on the ecosystem as I slowly reduce the food production probability.
