Project

Simulator of animals randomly moving on a grid world. Map is made out of tiles of grass or water.

Functions

• Simulator
  • Variable simulation speed:
    • Stepping
    • Auto-step with speed from one step per second up
    • Max possible speed
    • Paused
    • Simulation is running in a separate thread, and should not slow down rendering
    • World state is savable in:
    • binary format, holding complete state of entities and tiles (.world)
    • text CSV file separated with semicolumns (;) (.tworld)
      • can be edited visually with Excel or similar software with automatic color highlighting
      • does NOT hold complete state of the world, only world size, animal position and tile types
      • (sample file "sample-world.tworld")
• Entity editor
  • Entities can be selected and their properties modified
  • Properties of single entity can be copied to entities of same type with a button
• Application supports commandline arguments:
  • '--speed=<NUMBER>'
  • 'file/to/open.world'
  • for example: java -jar animalworld-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar --speed=10 ../sample-world.tworld

Build
