Cultivation is a game about the interactions within a gardening community. The resources needed for genetic propagation are tight, and relations can become tense. Cultivation explores self-interest, the common good, conflict, and compromise.

An online database and cross-platform, game-like client where gardeners/farmers (small or large scale) can log their actions and measurements (such as weather, yield, current plant size). Any user can then play it back visually, or play with the data and see a simulation inferred from the knowledge database, or calculate an optimal design within given constraints, inferred from the knowledge available at that time. This is both a tool for playing, in order to entertain and inspire people, as well as a serious feedback and design tool. There will be a user feedback system to value the accuracy of the data. It is allowed to enter and share mock farming data, as long as it's tagged as being fantasy, to exclude it from the analyses. Things like dietary information, tiredness and bio-constructions will be included as well, to improve optimizations of a garden design with (partial) self-sufficiency in mind. The UI will resemble a garden, and can switch to simplified views.

JaWator is a Wa-Tor JavaApplet; a predator-prey simulation resembling a natural ecosystem, this Cellular Automaton delivers fluctuations similar to the Lotka-Volterra equation. Inspired by A.K. Dewdney, Wa-Tor ecosystem (Scientific American, 1984)

A Silverlight framework that makes it easy to develop games and applications simulating creatures that interacts with eachother.

Artificial life simulation where computer programs (virtual organisms or VOs for short) compete on a grid for computer time. May the most intelligent VO win!
