PetriPixel v1.0 – First Release

This is the first release of PetriPixel, a digital petri dish where you can create and observe artificial organisms with customizable traits. The goal is to simulate how these creatures interact and evolve over time.

What's in v1.0?

  • Creature Creation – Customize size, behavior, and defensive traits.
  • Simulated Environment – Observe creatures as they compete, cooperate, or coexist.
  • Basic Evolution – Traits persist or disappear across generations.

How to Run

Option 1: Download the Executable

A standalone version is available below. No setup required—just download and run.

Option 2: Run from Source

  1. Install Python 3.x
  2. Clone the repo: 
    git clone https://github.com/MZaFaRM/PetriPixel.git
cd PetriPixel
  3. Create a virtual environment: 
    python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # macOS/Linux
venv\Scripts\activate.bat      # Windows
  4. Install dependencies: 
    pip install -r requirements.txt
  5. Run the project: 
    python main.py

Known Issues & Next Steps

  • Performance could be improved for larger populations.
  • Only supports 1920 * 1080 resolution.

Planned Improvements:

  • Smarter evolution mechanics.
  • More control over environmental factors.
  • Better visualization tools.
  • Support more resolutions

This is still an early version, so expect things to break or behave strangely. If you try it out, any feedback would be useful. ❣️
