The Bibites 0.6 Alpha 8: Stats and Graphs!

Yeah! The long-awaited first Stats and Graphs update!

Keep an eye on key metrics like Entities Biomass, Brain Size, and more for in-depth analysis of your population dynamic!

Get insights into the genetic makeup of your population!

Experience unique scenarios like the Antlike bibites and the creative Fibonacci-drawing bibite, along with more flexible playground options!

Enjoy refined physics with a regularized drag equation, new easter eggs, improved memory management, and more!

We've squashed bugs related to entity placement, UI glitches, simulation consistency, and more to ensure a smoother gaming experience.

Stats and Graphs

Historical Data Graphs

• Tracking tons of data stream (groups of related values)
• Ability to select which curves from a  you want to see from a stream
• Ability to select timescale (data is tracked semi-logarithmically)
• Added legends

Tracked streams:

• Entities Biomass
• Entities Count
• Brain Size
• Current Age of population
• Age of Death quantiles
• Egg laid quantiles

Genes Distribution Graph

• Ability to select any gene and see the historical genetic distribution of your population
• planned: see the distribution by-species for the present distribution

Added Scenarios and Templates:

• Added Antlike bibites template and Scenario
• Added Empty Playground Scenario (No energy cost, no default pellets or bibites, etc.)
• Added Fibonacci-drawing bibite template for the (only recommended in Empty Playground)

Changes

• Regularized drag equation to scale with size for bibites, eggs, and pellets
• Pellets no longer experience drag when held (temporary)
• Added Chibity (RockStar Patron)'s easter egg
• Added auto reload after autosaves as a band-aid to memory leaks
• Moved to saving stats data in binary files for efficiency
• Added flat ring distribution for Zones
• Added rectangle Zone
• Added out-of-bounds exterminator (with setting) (pellets will only be removed on Load)

Fixes

• Fixed entity (bibites and pellets) placement in Ring Zones
• Fixed bug that broke certain onHover fade animations
• Fixed bug that broke entity count when quick loading
• Fixed ColorSelector panel bug when selecting zones
• Fixed tagging options not saving with worlds/scenarios
• Fixed spacing in species panel
• Fixed some issues when editing the fields (inputing a ',' or '.', without leading 0)
• Added Eye Color Offset to sprite generator
• Fixed timescale inconsistencies when reloading, especially after autoreload
• Fixed clicking out of edit field not resetting the display to the correct value
• Fixed padding of "Start Simulation' button in menu
• Fixed bug where some templates would not show up as official
• Fixed bug where the order of bibite templates could switch in the list
