It is comprised of a gameboard that is created by the students in agentsheets. In an effort to help students design their games, we propose to embed critics into the gaming environment . The project will implement a computational model of organisms in an artificial environment where colonization and specialization emerges. The organisms will need to consume resources. The organisms will have the ability to produce and trade these resources.
Procreation is of course a special case.
The resources will be produced based on a probability. Each organism will have the ability to produce all four resources. They may also stockpile the resources and trade with other organisms in close proximity. The resources will spoil after a certain period of time. Assuming that the organisms survive until sexual maturity, they can procreate.
