According to many scientific
theories evolution has occurred in many species, including deer. We have
seen many changes in the development of the current day deer. One theory
is that deer are not finished evolving, and will change even more. One
way that they will change is through natural selection. Natural Selection
is the “natural” way deer mate, such as the largest male or the fastest
male. We plan to regenerate this process through our computer project
using C+ +. Hundreds, if not thousands, of deer are killed every year. This is how we, the human race, maintain population. What if the deer became harder to kill? What if their population grew more intelligent than we would ever imagine? Using Natural Selection this may be the situation we become trapped in. Soon the deer population will become stronger, smarter, and all together harder to maintain. The deer population will multiply and perhaps claim and destroy all territory. We will generate this example of evolution to show how a female will choose her mate in a few years to help create a generation of “Super Deer”. Being extremely prejudice in her selection, she will make sure no weaknesses are apparent. Once the perfect mate is found, the mating process will create a smarter, and stronger generation. Not quite perfected, the new generation will seek a new mate and seek the same ideal standards as her mother did. The process will be repeated until all imperfections are terminated forever. |

To begin this project our team
was not very fluent in the programming language C+ +. Two of our members
knew to some degree C+ +. After these members brought the two newer
members up to pace of what they knew they were ready to began the project.
After many days in the High School Tech Lab our team began to develop a report. The report did not take very long for us, but creating a program using the newly learned language was quite difficult. However, with much help from mentors and teachers a programmed eventually developed. |
| The purpose of this project is to create a computer program that may generate the possibility of deer evolution using natural selection. There will be many characters that will interact. One character will be a hunter trying to destroy the deer population. The other characters will be deer that will find each other and mate to help create the strongest population known to man. |
