Milestone #5: Survival of the Fittest & The Night Cycle! 🌙🦊
The evolution continues! After DNA, it’s time to amp up the risk and make the ecosystem truly competitive. The digital world has become more dangerous than ever!

What I added:

The Day/Night Cycle: The environment changes dynamically. At night, Predators rely on hearing/luck, as their vision is dramatically reduced, while Preys recover energy.

Predator Nerf & Mortality: Predators are no longer immortal. With increased energy drain at night and adjusted movement limits, starvation is now a real threat. If they don’t hunt effectively, the system will eliminate them.

Ecological Balance: I fixed the “endless energy bug” (double food spawn), making the death of Predators part of the life cycle, returning resources to the grid.

The simulation now runs with absolute stability and the competition for survival is fiercer than ever! 🧬🔥
