Description This assignment is related to the Darwinian evolutionary theory. It aims at exploring random mutation using a situation concerning ants and eating food for fitness. Randomly generated Finite State Machines ( FSMs ) are used to simulate the moves of the ant which are randomly cloned or mutated according to the principle of “Survival of the fittest” in an attempt to generate a populat...
