Zygotes don't stand a chance

OK, let's say it now : I have little experience with python (and with programming in general), I have no experience in pygame, I have no free-time, and my daughter didn't sleep last night... I guess Zygotes doesn't a have a single chance to be playable in a week, but I'll definitely try as hard as possible...

I came to love the game-idea, and I want to try and make a full game out of it, so I started coding thinking of many little options I would plug in after pyweek (for example, random genes positions so that you can replay the game again and again). But this takes much more time. And I've only had a few hours to code yet, and it won't get better, so i guess it's over, zygotes will live on, but won't make it for pyweek.

Think of it like a prototype rather than something to build on later. What is the core gameplay? The smallest simplest, yet most important bits? Does that gameplay work? Use pyweek to build that and only that, and even if it is terrible you will have learned something for the next version.
