Hopson97 / Empire

Licence: mit
A cellular automaton I made up myself, written in C++/ SFML

EMPIRE

This is my own cellular automaton

The rules are as follows:

-The world is made out a grid of cells aka "people"
-Each person holds some numbers:
    -Age
    -Strength
    -Reproduction Value
    -Colony ID

-Each person also holds some booleans
    -Whether they are alive or dead
    -Whether they are diseased or not

-At the start:
    -A few "colonies" are set up. Each colony has their own colour value
    -A few random locations around a map are set up, for each colony to originate from
    -50 people are placed are each of these locations, and are given the respective colony ID

SIMULATTION BEGINS
    -Each step:
        -Each person:
            - Increases in "Age" and "Reproduction Value"
            - Has a 50% chance of being cured of disease, given they have it
            - Tries to move to a random spot around them:
                -If they try move onto water, they will not move
                -If they try move onto land, they will move there

                -If they try move to a place where someone of a DIFFERENT colony is:
                    -They fight:
                        -Person with higher strength value stays fine.
                        -Person with lower strength value dies.

                -If they try move to a place where someone of the SAME colony is:
                    -If the person is diseased, then there is a 50% chance of giving/ catching it

            -If the person's "Reproduction Value" is greater than a "Reproduction Threshold"
                -The person gives birth
                -The child:
                    -Inherits the parent's Colony ID
                    -Inherits the parent's Strength value
                    -Inherits the parent's Disease (if parent is diseased)
                    -Has a chance of mutating:
                        -Slim Chance        -> Gets diseased
                        -Slightly Larger Chance -> Child is born weaker,
