Food amount parameter should be replaced #43

Food density as a way to discover different evolution strategies doesn't serve its role.

Food density in the eyes of fish is proportional to the (amount of food / area of the fishbowl / fish max speed). Secondly, although the starting amount of food may be high, the amount of other fish may quickly drive it down.

So, the "food amount parameter" should be replaced with food density at least, or, maybe, with food density / fish density.
