BUILT WITH ARKOS

Tiny dinosaurs.
A world of consequences.

An ecosystem simulation exploring how inherited traits, limited resources, and reproduction shape a population over time.

Every generation tells a story.

SURVIVAL

Food. Water. Time.

Arlos need resources to survive. Movement, age, energy, and hydration influence what happens next.

GENETICS

Traits with consequences.

Speed, metabolism, fertility, lifespan, sensing, and size give each creature a different starting point.

OBSERVATION

Watch the population change.

Follow population and resource patterns, inspect creatures, and explore the tradeoffs that emerge.

Run an experiment.

Open the project’s Arlos World example for source files and instructions. The illustration on this site is the Arlo mascot; it is not a screenshot of the simulation.
