You should be more scared by the hardware requirements needed to run all
that. :)
BTW, Creatures has now been adapted to fly model fighter planes with
goal-based missions, organizational ("flocking squadrons?") behaviors
and the like. By all reports it's successful. That was the proof of
concept test for the next stage: putting Creatures in the seat of real
air forces. There was a brief blurb about it in one magazine or other
recently--it's a military contractor project in the UK. Creatures was
done by people who made a game just as a proof of concept--their intent
was always serious research. It's quite fun to play with, too.

Yeah, oops. :) As some of you may know, most of the A-life stuff got
turned off because it was too expensive. We are gearing up to make
another run at it though, see if we can get it done better and cheaper.
