For my final project I want to make a interactive small pond ecosystem (a koi pond) using p5.play, ((I want to expand on a very rough version of an ecosystem coded for 60-210)). A random amount of each element will appear when the sketch is loaded (the lily pads generate in a cluster and stay in the same position for the duration of the program). When the user clicks food pellets will appear and the larger fish will swim towards them, if they touch the pellet they will “eat” it and if the amount of fish present in the sketch is less than a certain amount a baby fish will appear and slowly grow to a full size fish over time. The little brown fish eat the algae and reproduce. The algae amount affects how green the background is, if a food particle overlaps with the algae it will the food and reproduce.
