Intergrid is an ecological simulation screensaver. It simulates a bunch of different quantities in different grids interacting. These quantities include temperature, water, plants, and herbivores. I'm no biologist, but I figure emergent phenomena arise out of many simple systems (the different grids) interacting in convoluted ways. That is the philosophy behind this project.
The dependencies of Intergrid are a C++98 compiler and standard library and the SDL2 library. To compile, run this:
make
This will create an executable file intergrid
. Run it like this:
./intergrid
You can get more detailed help by running this:
./intergrid -help
Intergrid has many different parameters to control the simulation. These are
documented in the file conf
. To load a configuration file like conf
, use the
-conf
option for ./intergrid
.
