Throng: Evolution

Small creatures. Big changes.

Change the world and watch a living population respond. Throng: Evolution is a sandbox about inheritance, resource competition and natural selection.

Play in your browser above, or download the Windows demo below. Keyboard and mouse recommended.

Two ways to explore

Ecology: adjust traits and resources, follow individual creatures, and watch them compete, reproduce and mutate.

Evolution Lab: explore four environments, eight inherited traits and six pressure programs. Compare your experiment with an untreated control that starts with the same map and genes.

Start an experiment

Choose the double-helix icon on the title screen to open the lab. Press play, choose an environment, and try a pressure program. P pauses; R restarts. Use the speed controls, click a creature to inspect it, and export observations with the download icon.

Outcomes are simulated: a population may adapt, remain vulnerable or go extinct. The model is not calibrated to real organisms or clinical outcomes.

Language: ecology screens are in English. Some lab hover explanations are currently in Chinese; the browser build includes the font they need.
