- 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.
