Creatures are born, eat, mate, and die in a virtual tank; their attributes can be passed on to their offspring, and mutations occur along the way, so every tank will evolve differently. Aeon Garden is meant to be a passive experience, something you leave on in the background while you're doing other things.\n\n⚠️ **This project is under active construction!** ️️⚠️\n\nIf you'd like to contribute, please contact me @[amiantos](http://www.twitter.com/amiantos) on Twitter or some other way.\n\n## Features\n\n- [x] Watch abstract creatures swim around and live their tiny lives in a virtual tank\n- [ ] Running tanks generate pleasing ambient sounds\n- [ ] Customize tank settings (food level, food spawn rate, and more)\n- [x] Mark creatures as 'favorites' to persist them between tanks\n- [ ] Cross-platform support\n  - [x] iOS\n  - [x] tvOS\n  - [ ] macOS\n\n## Video \u0026 Screenshots\n\n📺 Watch a **[YouTube video of Aeon Garden](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHfABigM2Ik)**\n\nThese screenshots are from the tvOS version.\n\n![Aeon Garden Zoomed-Out View](/Graphics/Screenshots/tvos-zoomed-out.png?raw=true)\n\n![Aeon Garden Zoomed View](/Graphics/Screenshots/tvos-zoomed-in.png?raw=true)\n\n## Why\n\nLike [Numu Tracker](https://www.github.com/numutracker/numutracker_ios), Aeon Garden is both a learning project and a labor of love. I've always loved little artificial life simulations, no matter how rudimentary. Aeon Garden is also helping me learn more things: SpriteKit, GameKit, CoreData with CloudKit, creating views and constraints programmatically, more elaborate view animations, better code organization, and cross-platform development.\n\n# To Install\n\n1. `git clone https://github.com/amiantos/aeongarden.git`\n2. Open `App/Aeon Garden.xcworkspace`\n3. Pick a target\n3.
