Beneath A Binary Sky

Beneath A Binary Sky is a simulator engine. It simulates a world in which robots controlled by programs can live in it, work, fight, and even born new children! The long-term goal of the project is to create a fully configurable engine, which can simulates any kind of world, from a complex one with a lot of rules and events, to a simple one.

The project itself only simulates an environment for the robots. You, as the user, create some robots, set them in the world, and watch what their doing. Robots can collaborate with each other in order to live longer, form communities and fight other tribes, or live as individuals and wander around the world alone. Robots are completely separate from and independent of the simulation server.

Beneath A Binary Sky can be used as a tool for doing research in any scope of Artificial intelligence and Artificial Life, or simply as a high level hobby for programmers. You can find out more about how this tool can be used in the Manual's introduction.

Beneath A Binary Sky is Free Software and publish under the terms of GPLv3.

Main Features

• Every single rule in the world is configurable. So you can make your own world with special rules.
• Server let robots to clone themselves, when they achieve certain conditions.
• Robots can cultivate, and eat plants to gain energy. There can be different kind of plants (defines by scripts) with different properties. There's also harmful plants exist in the world.
• There can be natural disasters, or any other custom events created by the user.
• Although simulation server itself wrote in Python, robots can be in almost any other languages. Robots and Server can be run in separate machines, even with different operating systems.

Requirements

The hardware requirements is depend on how big your world is. For a common use, simulator can be run in any kind of hardware. If you need a big world with lot of robots in it, you can run robots and simulation server in separate machines, so both can have their own resources. In this way, There's no limit on size of the world and number of robots in it.

There's also no special software dependency. The only thing you need to run the simulation server, is Python. You can run the server in any platform which Python can be run on.
