It provided a set of objects (world, creatures, sensors, actions, and behaviors) for creating simulations of animal behavior. The behaviors are specified in terms of agents, or small units of behavior. Agar's main example was a simulation of ant food-foraging behavior.</p> </blockquote><!-- google_ad_section_start --><div class="field field-type-content-taxonomy field-field-category-app"> <div class="field-label">Category:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Novelties &amp; Fun </div> </div> </div> <!-- google_ad_section_end --><div class="field field-type-content-taxonomy field-field-author"> <div class="field-label">Author:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Michael Travers </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-content-taxonomy field-field-year"> <div class="field-label">Year released:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> 1988 </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-system"> <div class="field-label">System:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> System 7.0 - 7.6 </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-emulation"> <div class="field-label">Emulation:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Basilisk II (68k) </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-architecture"> <div class="field-label">Architecture:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> 68k </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-manual"> <div class="field-label">App&#039;s manual:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="filefield-file"><img class="filefield-icon field-icon-application-zip" alt="application/zip icon" src="http://macintoshgarden.org/sites/all/modules/filefield/icons/package-x-generic.png" /><a href="http://macintoshgarden.org/sites/macintoshgarden.org/files/manuals/Agar-SM-Thesis.pdf.zip" type="application/zip; length=6020365">Agar-SM-Thesis.pdf.zip</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <p><a href="http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/agar-animal-construction-kit" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/agar-animal-construction-kit#comments Novelties & Fun 1988 Michael Travers Tue, 15 Jul 2014 06:53:00 +0000 JonathanNemo 8884 at http://macintoshgarden.org
