The idea for this game is not new.
There was a game created a few years ago called "Critters" if I remember correctly that functioned similar to this game.
You created a critter who functioned by a core set of rules, but then evolved depending on what it was doing (and what you told it to do) at the time. The creators of the game then started to notice that some of the critters would actually look as though they were having sex (I'm not sure if the concept of reproduction was available in the game). The programmers did not explicity program that functionality into the game.
I've never gotten a chance to play this game, and I don't even know if "Critters" is the correct title, however, Will Wright certainly wasn't the first game designer to think of this idea.
Does anyone know of the game I am referencing? It was created in the mid-1990's.
