Simulation

A simple step-by-step simulation of a 2D world written in Java.

🎯 Overview

This simulation creates a 2D grid-based world where:

• Herbivores 🐇 search for and consume grass
• Predators 🐺 hunt herbivores
• Resources 🌱 (grass) spawn dynamically on each iteration
• Static objects 🪨 (rocks) / 🌳 (trees) block movement

Each creature uses BFS pathfinding algorithm to navigate toward target resources.

The simulation runs in real-time with a terminal-based UI that allows

• pausing / resuming
• stopping
• map scrolling

🚀 Getting started

Prerequisites

• Java 22 or higher
