Evolutionary Agent-based Aggression Simulation - EvASim

EvASim is an agent-based simulation developed to study the dynamics of aggression in a population consisting of two species—doves and hawks—that compete for survival and examine how their evolution unfolds over time ¹.

This is part of an academic project for the Intelligent Systems Engineering course @ University of Bologna, Italy.

How to run

The application is distributed as a jar on GitHub releases. Choose the appropriate version for your operating system and download it. To run the application, you can simply execute the following command (Java 17+ is required):

java -jar <path-to-jar>/evasim-<version>-<os>.jar

Alternatively, you can build the project using Gradle that takes care of all dependencies and configurations, Java included, with:

./gradlew run

For any problem, please fill an issue.
