Alot of people ask what the point of Artificial Planet is/was.
Here are some of the interesting things that resulted back when it was created:
Simulated Microevolution
This program may have been one of the first to simulate a physical advantage in an evolving artificial life via "natural" selection. While this claim is bold, it is easily repeatable, and consider the straightforward evidence:
Furthermore, ladybugs would rapidly evolve into two "species": ones that float and ones that sank, from a DNA buoyancy "gene" value. The evolving trees also had this gene. Therefore the ladybugs would breed in two groups: the ones that floated eating the floating fruits, and ones that sank that ate the sinking fruits.
