Example solutions

 

Ecoli_HW2_soln

Ecoli_HW2_soln
Bacteria moving up a concentration gradient using adaptive klinokinesis

Paramecium_HW3_soln

so that bots don't go after food that is off-screen.)

OrangeBlue_HW5_soln

OrangeBlue_HW5_soln
Blue bots use light as an informational cue to gain a competitive
advantage over the orange bots, which only use food cues.
