Noble Ape Simulation

Noble Ape Simulation: 26 May 2008

An interesting simulator. Attempts to do a cognitive simulation of a group of apes in the wild. Leo Laporte and Randal Schwartz interview the author, Tom Barbalet, during the latest FLOSS Weekly podcast.

From the website:


The Noble Ape Simulation has been in development for more than a decade.


It features a number of autonomous simulation components including a
landscape simulation, biological simulation, weather simulation,
sentient creature (Noble Ape) simulation and a simple intelligent-agent
scripting language (ApeScript).
