Breeding Simulator

[MrsTip]

I've been looking at the Breeds Wiki, and my thought is that there should be an option to simulate. I have horses that I would like to breed, but I currently have to click on every single breed to find out how you make it.
Like if I breed Horse A to Horse B : Will that create a "new" breed? or If I have Breed A, what can I breed to it and what breed will it produce?

A later thought to this would be like, If I breed Horse A and Horse B, what's my projected HGP? What are my possibilities for color?

Just a thought

I really like what options this could open up. I don't know how much programming or how little this might require. I would like to see this, sometime down the road. This could be really helpful for breeders (like me), even if it's just an estimation of what could be possible.

Yeah, I dont want something exact, just an estimation.

Currently, that only things I can think of that it could "predict" would be color, % of chance to create a new breed or an existing breed (like if i breed my Belgium to my Forrest Horse, whats the % chance that it'll be an Ardennias?), possible GHP. But ive also only been playing for about a week, so if anyone else has ideas of other things it could predict, definitely list them!

Even if it just started out with only breeds, because as a new player, the Breed Wiki is a great tool, but kind of a pain to navigate. I had North African Barbs and an Arabian, and without looking at both pages, and cross referencing, I didn't know they would make a Abyssinian. If the breeding simulator would atleast tell me, theres a possibility of an Abyssinian if you breed them then breed by a N African Barb, that would have been a lot easier.

I am sure it will take quite a bit of time and effort to code one, but it would be nice!

The ones that breed right off of the foundation breeds, I found are decently easy to produce. So often, as I work with them in my current goals, I'll get a pop-up cross.

I don't know if we'll actually get numbered percentage chances of 'new breeds', but I'd settle for matchmaking possibilities. The color possibilities are certainly what I'm most interested in. We can determine what we might get in most cases by just looking at the parents, but something like spreading snowflakes or patterns and in the future possible patterns and spreads for white markings is much harder to define. This would certainly help.

Eventually, I believe we'll be able to genetic test for color of our horses, but that still leaves spreading possibilities a little unknown. This game has a lot of basis in actual life, so... I don't know, can we test for appaloosa spreading, not just passage today?

But with your first post, searching through the breeds wiki can be tedious sometimes. I think there might be a subject somewhere somebody started that did list some of the 'descendant's from some lines.

Here are a couple of links to help with coat color analyzer and a coat color calculator.
