Simulation of war between insects

The simulator was developed in order to visualize the war between four insect species:

• ants (red points),
• wasps (blue points),
• dytiscidaes (white points),
• thanasimuses (green points).

Species and their enemies

• Ants attack wasps.
• Wasps attack dytiscidaes.
• Dytiscidaes attack thanasimuses.
• Thanasimuses attack ants.

Completion of the simulation

• There are only insects of one species in the environment.
• There are only insects of two species that don't attack each other in the environment.

Eusocialities and their roles

• Soldiers need to kill the enemy insect.
• Workers need to cure the injured (alive) insect from their family.
• Drones need to inseminate the queen and regenerate.
• Queens need to be inseminated by drones in order to born the new soldiers.

Building the simulation

javac -d bin -sourcepath src src/main/StartSimulation.java

Running the simulation

java -classpath bin main.StartSimulation

After running the programme you may change the values of parameters: attack (soldiers), cure (workers) and regeneration time (drones) and check how it affects the simulation.
