This code is my portion of our final project for CS266. It contains a set of Java classes that uses the MASON simulation library and a genetic algorithm approach to evolve strategies for robot foraging. See Section 3 (Simulation) of our final paper for more information.
I've shared the code here because I found that, other than the pretty solid MASON manual, there wasn't a lot of documentation available showing how to do various things. I hope it's useful for others who want to simulate something similar.
My final project partners were Andrew Reiter and Pierre-Emile Duhamel. Our professor was Rhadika Nagpal.

simulator
The source, intended to be opened as a workspace in Eclipse. The Tournament subdirectory is intended to be an Eclipse project, with the MASON project as its sibling and the various MASON jarfile dependencies available somewhere in your $JAVAPATH.
steps
Assorted example strategies, in our domain-specific S-expression-based step program language. Some are manually written, some are evolved by the GA.
