A completely new cladogram view


I've replaced the old cladogram view, because playtesting quite consistently showed that nobody was using it. The game is now using a completely new chronogram approach as can be seen in both Species ALRE and The Bibites. It should give a much better 'zoomed out' overview of which species branched off from which one at what point in time. Even though previous changes to speciation drastically reduced the number of species, the trees in this new cladogram/chronogram can grow quite large, so this view has been heavily optimized.

Perhaps surprisingly, by far the hardest part were the resizable scrollbars that allow you to navigate large trees. I believe most issues have been fixed, but they sometimes still revert (making the view go left instead of right) for reasons I do not understand yet.
