There are too many toasters in my chimney!Yeah, different animals can sense things like electrical currents. Platypuses use those weird duckbills of theirs to hunt their prey by feeling the electrical currents created by muscle contractions.
Oooh, nice :3
Sharks do that too.
There are too many toasters in my chimney!For now, the bears in the game will be brown bears only. Other bear types may come later.
makes sense.
There are too many toasters in my chimney!Hey, working on new stuff. This site should be useful.
Oh, that'll be very handy :3
There are too many toasters in my chimney!Extra-exciting update: I've finished the first bit of programming, and I can now create single regions. That was the easy bit. Now to see how to repeat it 25 times.
Edit: I'll upload the code and an updated planning list later tonight, when I'm sure that I'm not going to get any more work done today.
Second edit: Another bit of code done! I now have 25 unique regions. That's the easy part, though, the harder part is making them do things.

Working on better descriptions in the planning file. Hopefully with this update there will be enough info for anyone to add their own suggestions.
I tried rewriting your program to be more "Pythonic", and generally easier to change when you add more stuff. I got this, which is slightly cleaner.
Da Rules excuse all the inaccuracy in the world. Listen to them, not me.Thanks! Taking a look now. If you can't tell, my first languages were Visual Basic and Java.

There are too many toasters in my chimney!What's confusing you?
What do snakes have to do with Java
Snakes and coffee don't mix
There are too many toasters in my chimney!...they're just names...
Of?
There are too many toasters in my chimney!Programming languages. Python is what I'm coding the sim in, Java is a language I learned (kinda) a while ago, and influenced how I name variables.
@_@
There are too many toasters in my chimney!@5 senses convo: HUMANS have more than five senses.
Feminist in the streets, sex slave in the sheetsI know. But those are the five standard senses for dealing with your environment, so I figured I'd work on those first and then worry about things like sensing electromagnetism and the like...
Also yes, I still want to make this. And yes, I'm a lazy person.

- Spearers are armed with spiny appendages topped with barbed tips, used to stab and snag prey.
- Smashers, on the other hand, possess a much more developed club and a more rudimentary spear (which is nevertheless quite sharp and still used in fights between their own kind); the club is used to bludgeon and smash their meals apart. The inner aspect of the dactyl (the terminal portion of the appendage) can also possess a sharp edge, with which the animal can cut prey while it swims.
The snap can also produce sonoluminescence from the collapsing bubble. This will produce a very small amount of light and high temperatures in the range of several thousand kelvins within the collapsing bubble, although both the light and high temperatures are too weak and short-lived to be detected without advanced scientific equipment. The light emission and temperature increase probably have no biological significance but are rather side-effects of the rapid snapping motion. Pistol shrimp produce this effect in a very similar manner.
The species Gonodactylus smithii is the only organism known to simultaneously detect the four linear and two circular polarization components required for Stokes parameters, which yield a full description of polarization. It is thus believed to have optimal polarization vision.[15][18]
The fact that those with the most advanced vision also are the species with the most colourful bodies, suggests the evolution of colour vision has taken the same direction as the peacock's tail.
During mating rituals, mantis shrimp actively fluoresce, and the wavelength of this fluorescence matches the wavelengths detected by their eye pigments.[2] Females are only fertile during certain phases of the tidal cycle; the ability to perceive the phase of the moon may therefore help prevent wasted mating efforts. It may also give mantis shrimp information about the size of the tide, which is important for species living in shallow water near the shore.
In the monogamous species, the mantis shrimp remain with the same partner for up to 20 years. They share the same burrow, and may be able to coordinate their activities. Both sexes often take care of the eggs (biparental care). In Pullosquilla and some species in Nannosquilla, the female will lay two clutches of eggs, one that the male tends and one that the female tends. In other species, the female will look after the eggs while the male hunts for both of them. Once the eggs hatch the offspring may spend up to three months as plankton.
Hmm... Interesting. I'm going to be keeping an eye on this.
"If there are any gods whose chief concern is man, they can't be very important gods." - Arthur C. ClarkeThe bit about looping the random call until the sum is less than 100 is serviceable, but kind of clumsy. I would think about retooling that (maybe by dynamically generating the upper bound on the random call).

I just remembered that different animals can have more than five senses. Gotta find ways to incorporate that...
