ecosystm2 - the game



NOTICE:  The game is in its beta stage and some screens will look different in the final release.

ecosystm2 is a real-time multi-user securities trading game where players create flocks of birds whose appearance, behavior, and very survival,  is determined by a stock portfolio the user creates.  Flocks created by players are released into the ecosystem where they can breed with other flocks to create new species.  ecosystm2 is easy to learn, but just like real financial markets, hard to master.

The object of the game is to create an entire ecosystem whose overall performance is in the "positive".  Naturally, when you create a new flock, you will want to select securities you feel will do well.  However, because the game is based on rules and genetic algorithms it is believed that over time the ecosystem will evolve naturally to a positive state and ideally, significantly positive.

When you play ecosystm, you are in control of your flock.  When you are not playing, it is under its own control based on behavioral rules and the genetic algorithms.
