EvolvedTD: Evolutionary Tower Defense
July 29, 2017
This is an ancient post that I started in 2015. The actual content is in this Sway presentation, but at this point, you need some context.
During my senior year of college I participated in an experimental (and amazing) class, Evolving Games: CS 404 / Biol 404 by Dr. Terry Soule and Dr. Barrie Robison. Ten computer science students partnered with ten biology students, and we wrote an evolutionary tower defense game, EvolvedTD, where the creeps evolve in response to the player’s tactics.
