❗️ALERT: It is recommended that you read everything in order to fully understand the project. This is a fun little experiment, testing out the amoeba's chances of survival under certain conditions. Notice that the hawks and doves each fluctuate around 50% of the population - half doves, half hawks. This means that hawks will do better when there are more doves, and doves will do better when there are more hawks. However, also note that a population of only doves will do better overall when compared to a mixture of doves and hawks.

The timing is now perfect! › v2.1 - Fixed a faulty variable. › v3.0 - Added an AWESOME new graph! › v3.1 - Updated graph pen positioning. › v3.2 - Fixed a graph length bug. › v3.3 - Bug fixes. ›> Credits <‹ › Code all by me › Inspired by a series of youtube videos by Primer; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDvzbBRiNlA&list=PLKortajF2dPBWMIS6KF4RLtQiG6KQrTdB Comment "Microwaveable Pineapple" if you made it all the way here (I wonder if that exists). ;P
