Sample Programming Assignment
Chapter 13
Pond Life Simulation

The Assignment:

Start by reading and understanding the pond life program from http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~main/applications/PondLife.java . The program is also discussed in Section 13.2 of the text and there is documentation at http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~main/docs/PondLife.html. Modify the program so that there is a new fish-eating predator (perhaps alligators...they do eat fish, don't they?), and a plant-eating fish, and the plants. You'll need to implement a Carnivore class that extends the Animal class.

Before Starting:

Read Sections 13.1 and 13.2.
