Chapter 15, Problem 9PP
The goal for this
The ants behave according to the following model:
- Move. Every time step, randomly try to move up, down, left, or right. If the neigh boring cell in the selected direction is occupied or would move the ant off the grid, then the ant stays in the current cell.
- Breed. If an ant survives for three time steps, then at the end of the time step (that is, after moving) the ant will breed. This is simulated by creating a new ant in an adjacent (up, down, left, or right) cell that is empty. If there is no empty cell available, then no breeding occurs. Once an offspring is produced, an ant cannot produce an offspring until three more time steps have elapsed.
The doodlebugs behave according to the following model:
- Move. Every time step, if there is an adjacent ant (up, down, left, or right), then the doodlebug will move to that cell and eat the ant. Otherwise, the doodlebug moves according to the same rules as the ant. Note that a doodlebug cannot eat other doodlebugs.
- Breed. If a doodlebug survives for eight time steps, then at the end of the time step it will spawn off a new doodlebug in the same manner as the ant.
- Starve. If a doodlebug has not eaten an ant within the last three time steps, then at the end of the third time step it will starve and die. The doodlebug should then be removed from the grid of cells.
During one turn, all the doodlebugs should move before the ants do. Write a program to implement this simulation and draw the world using ASCII characters of “o“ for an ant and “X“ for a doodlebug. Create a class named Organism that encapsulates basic data common to both ants and doodlebugs. This class should have a virtual function named move that is defined in the derived classes of Ant and Doodlebug. You may need additional data structures to keep track of which critters have moved. Initialize the world with 5 doodlebugs and 100 ants. After each time step, prompt the user to press Enter to move to the next time step. You should see a cyclical pattern between the population of predators and prey, although random perturbations may lead to the elimination of one or both species.

In this game, one flyand three frogs are placed randomly on a board with the size 7x7.In each iteration, they move randomlywithin the board, and the simulation stops when one of the frogs eats the fly.Fly and frogs are essentially creatures that can move, make noise, and eat. Frogs can move up to 2squares in any direction, and flies can move up to 1. Frogs make the "Croak! Croak!" sound, and fliesmake "ZzzZZz!". Since frogs should not eat their kind, a function of "isEatable" should also beimplemented in decision making. A variable or function to check if the fly is alive is also required as aterminate condition for simulation.In each iteration, an 'f' character represents frogs' position on board, and an '*' character is used torepresent the position of fly.

You are to write an Ant class to simulate Langton's Ant.
In this simulation, a virtual "ant" moves about a two-dimensional square matrix, whose spaces can be designated white or black, according to the rules below:
If the ant is on a white space, it will turn right 90 degrees relative to the directions it is facing, move forward one step, and change the space it left to black.
If the ant is on a black space, it will turn left 90 degrees relative to the directions it is facing, move forward one step, and change the space it left to white.
When the ant hits the edge of the board and is going to go out of the bounds, wrap the board around so the ant will appear on the other side.
The matrix is initially composed of all white spaces. The user will specify the size of the square matrix. The user will also specify the number of steps that the ant will move and the starting location and direction of the ant. After the simulation, the final board with the ant position will be displayed to…

Java language pleasearrow_forwardIn programming, we use the mask concept to indicate information that can be shown to the user and information that must be “masked”, that is, hidden. In an implementation of a hangman game, we use a mask to indicate which secret word positions the player has already guessed right (whose the contents must therefore be shown to the player), and which positions must remain hidden. Each time that the player hits a letter of the hidden word, the mask is updated so that it has little dashes in the places of letters that the player has not hit yet and show it, in their proper place, the letters that he already hit it. For example, if the word is "cards", the current mask is: - a - - s and the player guesses the letter "d", the mask should be updated to: - a - ds.Write a function called update_mask that takes as input a string containing the word secret (in the example above, this word would be “cards”), a list whose elements are the characters of the current mask (in the example above…arrow_forward

The line is a queue object. Customers (i.e., customer objects) arrive in random integer intervals of from 1 to 4 minutes. Also, each customer is serviced in random integer intervals of from 1 to 4 minutes. Obviously, the rates need to be balanced. If the average arrival rate is larger than the average service rate, the queue will grow infinitely. Even with “balanced” rates, randomness can still cause long lines. Run the supermarket simulation for a 12-hour day (720 minutes), using the following algorithm: Choose a random integer between 1 and 4 to determine the minute at which the first customer arrives .At the first customer’s arrival time, do the following: Determine customer’s service time (random integer from 1 to 4). Begin servicing the customer. Schedule the arrival time of the next customer (random integer 1 to 4 added to the current time).

- only java program, a word search puzzle, where one is presented with a grid of letters and needs to find a word by choosing adjacent letters, is the Knight-move word search puzzle, where you’re presented with a grid of letters and need to find a word in a configuration where adjacent letters in the word are reachable by moving like a knight in chess. A knight in chess moves from its current spot by either two rows and one column, or two columns and one row, in any direction. So, the knight at position "K" in the table below, can move to any of the spaces labeled "X" Write a java program that tries to find a word in a grid of letters where each letter is connected to the next by a knight move. Some specific puzzle rules: •You can never "wrap around" any edge of the grid •You can never use the same letter twice. There will be several input instances from a data file. Each input will begin with values r and c (both ≤ 8), denoting the dimensions of the grid. Values of r or c of 0 signify…arrow_forwardYou are going to write a simulation for a mini survival game.
