Gridworld

Gridworld is an artificial life / evolution simulator in which abstract virtual creatures compete for food and struggle for survival. Conditions in this two-dimensional ecosystem are right for evolution to occur through natural selection. Creatures live short and replicate fast. Evolution can therefore be observed in hours or days instead of thousands of years. Gridworld is not a game but an evolution simulator. There is no real goal in Gridworld other than playing, learning, observing and experimenting. The role of the user is mainly passively observing the process of evolution as it unfolds in the simulation.
