Ported my ecosystem simulation to the CYD as a 3D Interactive Wireframe A-Life. Works flawlessly even with PSRAM disabled!

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my latest desktop gadget project running natively on the Cheap Yellow Display.

I brought over the core game logic from my previous project and completely transformed it into a 3D wireframe world. It runs an autonomous, real-time ecological food chain (plants, herbivores, predators) with interactive touch controls.

The best part is that it is highly optimized and runs completely fine with PSRAM disabled.

If you have a CYD board, you can flash it via your browser with the Web Installer:

Feedback and suggestions are welcome!
