Tyrrell's World

Tyrrell's "Simulated Environment" was built as part of the PhD research of Toby Tyrrell at the University of Edinburgh in 1993. The intention was to model a complex environment inhabited by a creature with multiple conflicting goals.

This is a re-implementation in Java based on Tyrrell's implementation in C.
