Enough cows? (Score:1)
In nature, aren't there usually more prey than hunters?
Long-term, so long as not _all_ prey are eaten, the population of both hunter and prey should balance each other. When the prey is scarce, the hunters starve.
Do you have a "fiercness" dimension on the tigers? Maybe they could learn to back off?
Re:Enough cows? (Score:2)
I keep the number of predators and prey from falling below a certain preset value for each; they'd go extinct before they'd evolve. Currently, they each hover at at 9 to 10 animals.
I could add new traits to the tigers, but for now, I want to see what's wrong (if anything) with my model. The cows have bumped up to a maximum bloodstream of four generations and when this happened, my "world data" file was rewritten. In checking that, I saw some very curious results which I think are indicative of a bug in the neural network. If so, and if I can fix it, I might have better results. I'm starting on that tonight.
