Biting off more than I can code

Wow, I was not expecting this theme at all!

Well, I’ve had an incomplete idea for an evolution game that I’ve already written about here, and I’ve been spending the last several hours trying to figure out how I could possibly create the AI for the creatures in the game and have it evolve along with their physical characteristics. I think I may have something that could actually work, finally. But it’s still way too much for 48 hours, let alone the time I actually do have available this weekend.

Do I forge ahead and end with something unfinished, or do I keep spending my precious hours trying to come up with an easier idea?

I wish I knew…
