The Red Queens Hypothesis:

Does Selection Pressure Affect Co-evolution in a Predator-Prey Model?

This project investigates whether the strength of selection pressure exerted by the predator on the prey in a predator-prey relationship affects their co-evolution behaviour. More information is found in the report

Note that the majority of this code is forked from: https://github.com/openai/multiagent-particle-envs with modifications made to suit the project

Replicating Results:

  • To run the experiments, run: project_NEAT.py

  • Known dependencies: Python (3.5.4), OpenAI gym (0.10.5), numpy (1.14.5) neat-python (0.92)
