Primary number of years of hiding.Simulating a scenario where cicadas are trying to get out of the ground to the surface in order to start mating
Life of CicadasSlide3
Used matrix. Random walking.Cicadas: Random walking with higher chance to move up (U:50%|L:20%|R:20%|D=10%)Pred type 1 : random walking (same chance in all directions)
Pred type 2 : random horizontal motionPred type 3 : Stays stillWhen cicada comes to the tile next to predator, it gets eaten. (for
pred
type 3, cicada dies even if it comes to the tile diagonal to it)
Count number of cicadas that survive and surface!
Color coding using
colormap: White=Cicada | Green: Pred type 1 | Blue: Pred type 2 | Dark Brown : Pred type 3 | Brown: Soil | Skyblue : airRun code by running Cicada.m on matlab
