Darwin World repository, is a project created as part of the Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Course at AGH UST. It's goal was to crystallize the knowledge of OOP programming by creating a self-playing simulation of an ecosystem.

Darwin World is an application that simulates an evolving ecosystem. The ecosystem consists of a 2D grid, where the only entities are animals and plants. Animals are able to move, reproduce and die, while plants are stationary and serve as a food source. Each animal has a unique set of genes that determine its movement. When animals reproduce, their children inherit a mix of their parents' genes, with a chance of mutation. The simulation is run in real-time, with the user able to observe the ecosystem as it evolves over time.
- Selecting simulation parameters: Users can customize the simulation by setting the grid size, initial animal count, mutation type and other parameters.
- Importing and exporting simulation parameters: The simulation parameters can be saved to a file and loaded later.
- Drawing the current state of simulation: The simulation is visualized in real-time, showing the grid, animals and plants.
- Tracking statistics: Users can monitor the population statistics, such as the number of animals, average energy and average lifespan.
- Exporting statistics to a CSV file: Users can choose to save the statistics to a CSV file for further analysis.
- Java: The core programming language used to implement the Darwin World simulation.
- JavaFX: The GUI library used to create the user interface for the application.
- JUnit 5: The testing framework used to write unit and integration tests for the application.
- Gradle: The build automation tool used to manage dependencies and build the application.
- jackson: The library used to serialize and deserialize JSON files containing simulation parameters.
