Critter Tournament

On Wednesday, January 12, we will use our class time to hold a large Critter Tournament exploring the behaviors of all of the Critters created by everyone. It will be fun to see the diversity of decisions made by different species of Critter.

Please use this Google Form before 6PM Eastern on Tuesday, January 11 to let me know which critters you would like included in the tournament: https://forms.gle/RZwkstamCcc466JY9. You are welcome to contine to make changes to your critters after the tournament.

The settings we will use for the tournament include:

  • Each environment will have width 50 and height 40 and hold 5 randomly chosen species of critter, with 25 critters per species.
  • An environment will be simulated for 500 time steps.
  • For each species, we will record the number of critters alive at the end of each environment, the number of critters removed by a species, the karma earned, and the final health.
