Welcome to Ecosystem Safari!

Your Objective: Maintain a stable and balanced savanna ecosystem for as long as possible. Prevent extinctions and avoid overpopulation that depletes resources!

How to Play:

Use the sliders on the Setup Screen to set the initial number of animals and trees.

Once the simulation starts, use the Dashboard Controls to influence:

Observe the Ecosystem Stats to monitor the health of your savanna.

Dashboard Controls

Z,A,W Mating: Controls Zebra, Antelope & Warthog reproduction. Higher rates = more prey & plant consumption. Lower rates = slower growth.

Elephant Mating: Controls Elephant reproduction. Elephants consume many leaves; manage their numbers carefully!

Predator Mating: Controls Lion reproduction. More lions = more predation. Fewer lions can lead to herbivore overpopulation.

Predation Rate: Influences how often lions successfully hunt. Higher rates = more effective hunting. Lower rates give herbivores a better chance.

Simulation Speed: Adjusts the overall speed of events. Useful for observing changes more quickly or slowly.

Stay Daytime: Locks the simulation in daytime lighting. Uncheck to experience the day/night cycle and see the stars!
