Simulate resource competition among artificial agents — simulate_resource_competition • artificialLifeR

Simulates agents moving in a square world and gaining energy from spatially distributed resources. Resources regenerate at each time step.

Usage

simulate_resource_competition(
  n_agents = 50,
  steps = 50,
  world_size = 1,
  n_resources = 30,
  resource_regen = 0.2,
  consumption_rate = 0.1,
  movement_cost = 0.02,
  seed = NULL
)

Arguments

n_agents: Number of agents.
steps: Number of time steps.
world_size: Size of the square world.
n_resources: Number of resource patches.
resource_regen: Resource regeneration amount per step.
consumption_rate: Maximum resource amount consumed by an agent per step.
movement_cost: Energy cost per step.
seed: Optional random seed.

Value

A list with agents, resources, and summary data frames.
