A fun game, related to species.

Run this in LifeViewer (you can do it multiple times) until extinction (or until generation 10000) and post your species' curves here! (do not forget to provide lifespan and maximum population in text form)

Sounds like it could potentially be somewhat interesting, if only it were repeatable.

Suppose I run it and see something interesting. How do I copy/save/share that particular configuration, along with all relevant settings needed to fully determine the evolutionary sequence?
