Abstract

This work presents a new agent based simulation tool specifically designed to study ecological networks. It includes many unique features like genetics, evolution, space-explicit simulation domain, flexible environmental modeling, etc. Written in C++, it yields a high performance experience and allows extremely large and complex simulations to be run, with up to hundreds of thousands of individuals moving and interacting in different ways to feed, reproduce or attack each other. It can be used to study ecosystems at different scales, from microscopic to superior animals whether alive or extinct.
