Artificial Life in Game Mods for Intuitive Evolution Education
The understanding and acceptance of evolution by natural selection has become a difficult issue in many parts of the world, particularly the United States of America. The use of games to improve intuition about evolution via natural selection is promising but can be challenging. We propose the use of modifications to commercial games using artificial life techniques to 'stealth teach' about evolution via natural selection, provide a proof-of-concept mod of the game Stardew Valley, and report on its initial reception.

Co-generation of game levels and game-playing agents
Open-endedness, primarily studied in the context of artificial life, is the ability of systems to generate potentially unbounded ontologies of increasing novelty and complexity. Engineering generative systems displaying …
Artificial LifeConditions for Open-Ended Evolution in Immigration Games
The Immigration Game (invented by Don Woods in 1971) extends the solitaire Game of Life (invented by John Conway in 1970) to enable two-player competition. The Immigration Game can be used in a model of evolution by natu…
