Abstract
In this project, we decided to create a simulation with different species interacting over a stretch of territory, using an evolutionary-game-theory setup. The simulation takes place in each square of an n x n grid, where it randomly chooses a random player. With some probability, the player will interact with another player using a matrix modeled by the Prisoner's Dilemma. We will then degrade or remove some territory and see the effects on the populations over time.
