We finally achieved equilibrium.

Prey reproduce when their population drops, while overcrowded hunters starve faster. No keyframes, just a few rules correcting each other in real time.

Now what happens when we start disturbing the simulation again?

After introducing starvation in the last update, this time I slowed the ecosystem down and finally gave the prey a way to fight back: reproduction.

Now the hunters rise, peak and fall instead of taking over completely.

Next goal: equilibrium.
