Up: Predator-prey Scenario
Previous: Prey agent design
As the name suggests, the predator agents are carnivorous; they consume
the original prey for sustenance. The predators can perform the following actions:
do nothing, turn, walk, mate and attack prey. When the predators attack the prey,
they inflict damage. When an attacking predator kills the prey it gains a
a health bonus, reflecting food consumption. The observations the predators can perform are
self age and health examinations, and determining whether any prey
or potential mates nearby.
