SOFT1901 Project
 Software
Development in Semester 1, 2004, involved producing a simulation
of some description, together with a poster, all with the
trials and tribulations of groupwork. At the end of the
semester, the best projects from each tutorial group were
invited to participate in a competition... and the result
for the Antarctic Ocean Lifeforms
Simulation team a.k.a. "Orca" (we couldn't think
of anything better...) was (drumroll):
BEST SIMULATION WITH GUI (1st)
BEST POSTER (2nd) |
Description
Marine ecosystems are multifaceted systems with complex
interactions between the wide variety of organisms that
reside within it. This simulation attempts to model a small
slice of Antarctic ocean, bringing together whales, penguins,
fish and seaweed in a realistic 3D model that includes
currents and emergent behaviour. The species interact in
a food chain, with some species able to reproduce to replenish
their stocks. The simulation allows for much user interaction,
and it allows the user to view graphs showing trends over
time, as well as "play God" by altering the make-up of
the ecosystem.
