VOLVE 5.0
Cut, Copy, & Paste Organisms
Organisms can be cut or copied from one simulation and pasted into another. Also you can delete an organism (Del key). Note: On MacOS use the Command key instead of the Ctrl key.
-
Copy Organism:
Select an organism by left clicking on it. Ctrl-C will copy the organism to the clip board. The simulation is not altered. -
Cut Organism:
Select an organism by left clicking on it. Ctrl-X will cut the organism from the universe (it will be removed), and the organism will be placed in the clip board. -
Paste Organism:
If you have cut or copied an organism, then you can press Ctrl-V to paste the organism into the current simulation. The organism is pasted somehwere near the center of your simulation. -
Delete Organism:
Select an organism by left clicking on it. Pressing Del will delete the organism from the universe.
Why do this?
If you find a clever organism and wish to experiment on it in seperate universe, you can use the copy/paste features to do so. Also you might want to see how successful a creature from one simulation is, when transplanted into another simulation.
(you will also find the Tweak Energy and Move Organism features useful for this kind of experimentation.)
Blank Universe
The toolbar button 
brings up a blank simulation. This provides a quick place to paste your organism's into.
