I think enough of the SnailLife Go infrastructure is ready now for me to start digging into the snail itself. In the PHP draft of SnailLife, I started with a basic concept of a snail “Here’s a snail. All it has is a name, size, and speed” and then made it more and more complex. By the end I had a model that had organs, genes, a reproductive system, macro/micro nutrient requirements, locomotion, a brain with memories, mood, etc. With the Go rewrite I have the luxury of hindsight and a vision based on the draft. I know roughly where I want to end up - “organs, genes, a reproductive system, macro/micro nutrient requirements, locomotion, a brain with memories, mood, etc.”
