Eat Prey Live

In the game Eat Prey Live, players assume the role of a predator on the hunt for dots. As they pursue their prey, they remove particular members from the population. This process alters the genetic makeup of the group, as the genes of the individual are taken out of circulation. With the creation of a population, players initiate the hunt. Each dot has its unique traits, including speed and manoeuvrability, that influence the predator's ability to catch it. Whilst playing the game, users experience first-hand how selection operates and how populations evolve across time. One of the unique features of Eat Prey Live is that it allows players to adjust their initial set-up, thus expanding the experiment. The different settings that players can adapt include the dot's speed and manoeuvrability, the relationship between size and manoeuvrability, the wave size, the cost of hunting energetically, and the reward earned from a successful kill. The game's versatility responds to the players' preferences, providing a deeply immersive experience.
