Evolutionary Games

Terence Soule
UI CS

   Many video games have professed to include an evolutionary aspect; prominent examples include Spore, Evolve, and Pokemon evolution. A roughly equal number of video games have succeeded in completely misrepresenting evolution; prominent examples include Spore, Evolve, and Pokemon evolution. The goal of this project is to find ways to include accurate models of evolution as a way to make video games more fun and potentially more educational. In this presentation I will discuss several iterations of the project including what has worked well and what has failed dramatically.
