Simulations & Games
Explore interactive simulations that demonstrate fundamental concepts in evolution, natural selection, and animal behavior. Each simulation provides insights into how simple rules can create complex patterns in nature. Too much theory? Take a break and enjoy our interactive games.

Immobile Cell Simulations
Grid-based simulations with immobile cells operate on a snapshot principle: in each cycle, cells are computed in parallel by reading the current state and writing the next state to a separate grid.
The following simulations explore cellular recognition systems through gene comparison. Using the same grid-based approach as above, cells interact with their neighbours based on their genetic makeup, gaining or losing fitness through these encounters.
- Perception - Neighbor Detection
- Recognition - Friend or Foe Discrimination
- Perception and Recognition Models in Competition
- Friends and Foes - Perception and Recognition Combined
