Important Featured Strategies



Decent Path Finding
1) Be able to chase its prey through a maze of
plants without collisions in straight line
Good Hunting Strategy
1) Knows when to speed up for your prey, when to
change to a different gear
2) Good understanding of their environment
Good Defending Strategy
1) Calculate the "odds" of a successful fight
2) Assesses whether to chase, ignore or flee.
3) Good strategy for dodging other stronger
carnivores
Ohio University
Important Featured Strategies (cont’)

Good Energy Management
1) Need energy to acquire a very limited food supply.
2) Expend about as much energy in a chase as they got
from the kill.
3) Stands still before breed.


Communication Between TeamWorks
Know how to hunt in groups
Reproduction and Evolve Strategy
1) Understand the rules on sickness
2) Mechanism that inhibits the carnivore's breeding
3) Algorithm that each Teamwork monitors the number
of Creatures
4) Determines the ideal number of offspring
5) Random variation of constants between generations.
