Recently finished a side project where I simulated a stable 3-tier ‘ecosystem’ of plants, herbivores and carnivores in pygame. Herbivores eat plants and carnivores eat herbivores in stable phases, in line with Lotka Voterra equations, but with added spatiality. You can read about it on my GitHub

I’ve been making an ecological management sim (a non game game if you will) in pygame and I gotta say, I’m having a blast, but it’s clearly a masochistic black hole endeavour and I should really just stop and get back to working on music…

"writing code to solve a problem" used to have "understanding the problem" as a prerequisite. but vibecoding allows solution-shaped objects to be produced without any of the hard-won understanding. beware of solution-shaped objects.
