Aim

Simulation of small ecosystem with meadow-board, some animals and plants that can reproduce etc. in Java, visualised using emojis.

Meadow-Board

Board is 2 dimension matrix in Meadow class.

Info:

• emoji: 🟩

Examples

Meadow can look like this after placing three grasses and one sheep:

Animals

General concept

Animal - asbtract class for animals.

Properties:

• timesAteToReproduce - how many times need to eat in order to reproduce
• ate - how many times it ate without reproducing
• endurance - how many rounds can go without eating before reducing health
• roundsStarving - number of rounds animal haven't eat
• health - currenct health level, if 0 - it dies

Methods:

• reproduce - abstract reproduction which result is new Animal of the same type
• eat - abstract eating method of some MeadowBoard object that should affect some other properties and may result in reproducing

Carnivorous animal

Carnivorous - abstract class for carnivorous animals

Methods:

• eatAnimal - abstract eating method only pre-defining that other Animal is what have to be eaten
• eat - is implemented to use eatAnimal, throws exception otherwise

Wolf

Wolf details:

• timesAteToReproduce: 2
• endurance: 5
• health: 6
• emoji: 🐺
• reproduce(): new Wolf, but parent times needed to reproduce is raised to the power of two

Herbivorous animal

Herbivorous - abstract class for Herbivorous animals

Methods:

• eatPlant - abstract eating method only pre-defining that Plant is what have to be eaten
• eat - is implemented to use eatPlant, throws exception otherwise

Sheep

Sheep details:

• timesAteToReproduce: 6
• endurance: 2
• health: 2
• emoji: 🐑
• reproduce(): new Sheep has one more health point

Plants

General concept plants

Plant - abstract class for plants.

Properties:

• roundsToReproduce - round without being eaten needed in order to force reproduce
• rounds - counts rounds without being eaten
• reproduceChange - change to reproduce in each turn in %

Method:

• reproduce - abstract reproduction that creates new identical Plant

Grass

Grass details:

• roundsToReproduce: 4
• reproduceChange: 20%
• emoji: 🌿
