🌍 NeuroCivilization

NeuroCivilization is a complex zero-player Artificial Life simulation written in C#. It simulates a living, breathing ecosystem where AI agents (Humans and Animals) survive, evolve, and form primitive societies using custom Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms.

✨ Key Features

• 🧠 Custom Neural Networks: Agents make decisions based on inputs (vision, hunger, pain) processed through a FastBrain network, modulated by simulated neurochemicals (Dopamine, Serotonin, Cortisol).
• 🧬 Advanced Genetics & Epigenetics: A deep genetic system including inheritance, mutations, telomere aging, and epigenetic memory (stress, famine, and trauma affect gene expression in descendants).
• 🏹 AI Ecosystem: Herbivores and predators roam the map, form packs, and breed. Humans hunt, gather, craft tools, and defend themselves.
• ⛺ Tribe Formation: Humans form relationships, build shelters, teach each other, invent technologies, and establish tribal territories.
• ⛈️ Dynamic World: Day/night cycles, changing seasons, and weather events (Rain, Storm, Snow, Heatwaves) directly impact agent survival.
