Field notes
The described play sequence moves from star formation through planets and worlds to shaping lifeforms, with the site naming physical quantities behind some of its outcomes. It says the simulation pauses at turning points to frame choices, and that finished systems can be saved as seeds for replay or sharing. The page reports 95 pieces built, alongside nine rungs of life and eight eras, but those figures are presented as site claims.
