Scorpion Races: First Simulation (no graphics)
Two basic strategies are possible when an animal is confronted with a predator: fight or flight. Which strategy works better for a scorpion?
In this simulation, a scorpion is confronted by a hungry burrowing owl (a burrowing owl?). Should the scorpion challenge the bird (fight) or run away (flee)? Try each strategy 20 times and see what the success rates are.Users who prefer keyboard controls instead of buttons may use "f" for fight and "r" for run away.
