Short description:
Wa-Tor for Windows - Population ecology simulation, ver. 1.1
Medium Description:
Wa-Tor for Windows (ver. 1.1) is population ecology simulation.
You pit hungry sharks against tasty fish and see who comes out on
top. You may get fluctuating populations that will exist for
hundreds of generations. You control the initial number of sharks
and fishes, their breeding rates, and shark starvation time. The
dynamics of the populations can be watched on the graphs as well
as on the Wa-Tor world map.
Long Description:
Wa-Tor for Windows (ver. 1.1) is population ecology simulation.
You pit hungry sharks against tasty fish and see who comes out on
top. You may get fluctuating populations that will exist for
hundreds of generations or your populations may go extinct in a
very short time, depending on the initial parameters and
subsequent random events.
You control the initial number of sharks and fishes, their
breeding rates, and the shark starvation time. Sharks and fish
then breed and move about randomly, with the sharks eating any
nearby fish. The dynamics of the populations can be watched on
the Wa-Tor world map as well as on several types of graphs. The
results may be saved to a comma-delimited file and imported to a
spreadsheet program for further analysis and graphing. The
program is based on an idea first published in Scientific
American.
