Ecobeaker 1.0: Ecological Simulation Program (Macintosh Version)

This manual is intended to accompany the ecological simulation program, Ecobreaker 1.0 which is designed to be used by students in the classroom. It provides a two-dimensional world in the computer, into which students can place creatures whose behaviours they design. As the creatures eat, reproduce, move around and die, students can observe the patterns and compare them against the real world and theoretical predictions. Students can also graph different statistical measurements from the Ecobreaker 1.0 world, and sample the populations using a variety of common sampling techniques.
