Screenshot from the original DOS program - plants are green, poison is red and bugs are yellow.
Bugs move about in the world, gather food and avoid poison.
In it's original incarnation as Bugworld , it was an DOS application running on a 64K DOS partition. The motivation behind Bugworld is to test a hypothesis about evolution of brain complexity. The idea of recursively modular architectures is to allow for a hierarchy of levels, in which a group of neurones at one level becomes the basic building block at the next level. The original single-scale network is shown with black connections between neurons. The old circuit structure is retained as the overarching architecture of the new, two-scale, network.
