  2. Phase I Analysis of Black Plague

  3. Phase II • Improving Black Plague • Decided to experiment with thresholds and ratios. • Reduced reproduction threshold. Changed ratio for environment heuristics.

  4. Phase III: Starting Over • Nascent strategy: • Black Plague is conservative initially • Decided to probabilistically make our organism aggressive when it’s born • Gives good trade off between risk taking and risk averse behavior

  5. Phase III: Starting Over • Moving: • Move onto food • Move probabilistically if no food around (conservative strategies) • Move based on how good you expect the environment to be • Move away from “friends” if possible • Move without backtracking, if possible

  6. Phase III: Starting Over • Reproduction: • Do not reproduce till you have eaten • Reproduce onto food whenever possible • Force reproduction when we are sitting on a “cache” of food which we are too full to eat.

  7. Conclusions: Tournament results: • Single Player: We finished in the top 50%, in terms of population, in 75% of the tournament • Multiplayer: Our player survived in 75% of the tournament configurations and was in top 30%, in terms of population, in 50% of the rounds and was in the top 50%, in terms of population, in the remaining 25%.
