Applied Weekly Time Changes
I replaced the old 12-step monthly time change system with a weekly time change system. As a result, the time intervals are now more detailed. This system will enable closer interaction with the ecosystem moving forward. While this may change as development continues, at the moment, one year in this

Research on a new method of pathfinding algorithm for performance improvement
Recently, after adding wolves, I set the wolves' field of view to be wider than that of rabbits and conducted tests, during which I confirmed that the A* algorithm was not performing well. This is because, in the current Breathing World, it uses coordinates that are subdivided into a

Weeds and Rabbits
Weeds Weeds are the very first living organisms in the current ecosystem. Starting on barren ground, weeds emerge and go through a life cycle of sprouting, growing, reproducing, and dying. If left unchecked, the entire island will eventually be covered in weeds. Rabbits When weeds reach a certain density, a

The Genesis of an Idea
In 2019, I came up with an idea and created a rough prototype related to weeds. At that time, the server generated images like the one above every second. The weeds followed a lifecycle of sprouting, growing, activating, aging, and dying, all on a per-second basis. Since I was fond
