A modern cellular evolutionary simulator.
Developed by LifeSimulator
LifeSim Compact is an interactive evolutionary sandbox where you watch digital organisms evolve over hundreds of generations. Cells compete for resources, reproduce with genetic variation, and adapt to their environment.

How is it different?
- Simplified user interface, with only basic player controls available.
- No session management, analytical, interactive, or application tools included.

LifeSim Compact is free to download on any platform, and is available to play within a web browser.
