Move south, look for something other than blank gray space.

The cell looks northeast.


----
The cell spends 5 energy units moving south, and finds some sugars, which it eats and gains 15 energy units.

Stored sugars: 73

The cell cannot see anything very well and cant use its sight to see non-reflective objects yet.

What would be the cost to improve our sight?

The cell spends 5 energy units to move west, and finds some more sugars, it eats then and gains 9 energy units.

To upgrade sight to see objects is 25 units, to see objects in the distance is 50, to see movement is 100, to focus is 200, and to see color is 400.

Stored sugars: 77

Hmm...
Conduct scan of surroundings (360 degrees on the horizontal).
Or, to put it loosely, look around.

Speaking of which, obtain Chloroplasts for auto-energy, though I doubt you have enough sugar or whatever you need right now.

I agree, we need to grow one ASAP.  Our sugars are getting low.

A 360 scan with sight where the darkest frame is north, turning around counterclockwise.


The ability to see objects only works for objects in the same area of the cell, do you still want it?

The cell cannot grow chloroplasts, because it doesnt have the proper genes to grow them it not being a plant.

Well there's something.  Bagh, I forgot the name of that cell part...  We just need more sugars before we start dumping it into evolving (albeit useful) parts.

Maybe develop long tentacles (flagellum is the technical term, I think) that enable us to search large areas for food?
Doubt it's possible now, but it's a thought.
