This is a simulation between doodlebugs (predators) and ants (prey). Doodlebugs can move, kill, breed, and starve, and ants can move and breed. Doodlebugs are represented by an x and ants are represented by an o.

First do a make to compile the program.

To run the program, run ./PA5 gridSize #doodlebugs #ants #time_steps seed pause, where:

1. gridSize — an integer representing the number of cells along one dimension of the grid (defaulting to 20)
2. #doodlebugs — an integer indicating the number of doodlebugs (default 5)
3. #ants — an integer indicating the number of ants (default 100)
4. #time_steps — the number of time steps to play (default 1000)
5. seed — an integer indicating the seed for the random number generator, with a zero meaning to use the current time as the seed (default seed value is 1)
6. pause — an indication as to whether to pause. Blank or zero means do not pause. A non-negative value n means pause and print the grid after each nthstep. Wait for one character input before continuing.

This program is split into 5 main classes, which will be described below:

This is a simple class that stores the configuration for the whole program.

This is a class which manages the game. It stores the board, all instance variables, and is in charge of calling the step function in all of the Organisms. The step function is the real meat of this program, in that is makes all of the Organisms move and interact
