Despite being more like growth than evolution, it would be nice if the thickness of the stick and perhaps not just the middles but the full length of the stick could hit the circles.

I actually like that the stick gets harder to manoeuver as it gets bigger, although there should be some corresponding advantage as well. Maybe the other sticks that get created should damage you if you hit them, and perhaps even start chasing you? - Then being bigger could allow you to take more damage, and it would give the game an end condition."},{"author_name":"Nile","author_uid":"16869","time":"Aug 31, 2012 @ 11:02pm","epoch":1346453820,"text":"@hgcummings The sticks that you see spinning around were intended to do something but I ended up not having the time to work on it for more than a few hours when the competition was going on, so I didn't quite finish that. I like your idea of the sticks chasing you, I had thought of them damaging you but not chasing. When I work on it again I will definitely use your suggestions, thanks. =D"},{"author_name":"pighead10","author_uid":"8539","time":"Aug 31, 2012 @ 11:15pm","epoch":1346454600,"text":"There wasn't really any element of a challenge, but it was slightly interesting.
