Abstract

This report details the design and implementation of an artificial world that demonstrates Darwinian evolution. This is done using an agent based modelling tool called Swarm. This world is populated with hundreds of agents that compete with one another to survive. Their behavioural attributes are coded into their genes. The initial population consists of individuals with randomly coded genes. It is hoped that by exerting Darwinian evolution on this, a population of agents, optimally suited for survival in the world will emerge.
