Has food
where can eat (according to digestion, i.e. what can eat) or be eaten (depending on edibility of self).
in this world, besides (or instead of?) the time constraint, all beings and hence avatars too must eat. BeinG s here can be called HungryBeing? , an example is HungryBird (from AppleTree: feed the HungryBird s). another example is FoodInNethack
thoughts partly based on a virtual petri dish app, where are (and reproduce):
- grass (needs water and sunlight)
- lambs (eat grass)
- wolves (eat lambs)
.. which then becomes about BalancE? (e.g. lambs must not to eat all grass, wolves not all lambs). Such(?) three species food chains have been examined (and found chaotical?) in EcoLogy, e.g. by Hastings and Powell (1991) for which an implementation is in the EnginE:NumPy cookbook at http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Theoretical_Ecology/Hastings_and_Powell
some sketching of this is now in http://an.org/programming/food.py
DarwinBots? tutorial has a food finder, http://www.darwinbots.com/WikiManual/index.php?title=Basic_Bot_Tutorial
also in PolyWorld? the things eat, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyworld
with humans, with CulturE?, things get .. well, this was originally made to be a MoralWorld for anBeing. consider e.g. PacifisticCulture? . A different perspective to eating behaviour w.r.t. good human behaviour is eating sensibly, avoiding obesity - see e.g. http://www.tcme.org/ for mindful eating.
in a totally another vain, ants have taught us interesting lessons about CollectiveBehaviour? .. e.g. in how they gather food - see e.g. http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0707/feature5/index.html SwarmTheory?

is something quite different, but also has a food.py, which might be even shared here :p
Shrinking Man https://gna.org/projects/shrinkingman/ Shrinking Man is an application for tracking your weight and the calories consumed each day.
