Virtual World

A simulation of an ecosystem where the player controls a human character.

Simulation Features

Combat: Strength-based resolution where the stronger organism wins, unless special abilities interfere.

Reproduction: Species-specific breeding logic where parents find an adjacent free cell to spawn offspring.

TUI (Terminal User Interface): Built with the NCurses library, providing a retro, windowed interface with message logging.

Controls

Arrows / Keys: Advance turn/Move Human.

a: Activate special abilities.

s: Save current simulation state.

r: Read/Load last saved state.

q: Quit the simulation.
