Section 3

Q."what" is your RQ?
A.This isn't final yet but I'm thinking "Can an evolving ecosystem be simulated with lifelike AI governing the creatures behaviour?" sums up the aims quite well.

Q."why" is it important?
A. It is important because if it is successful it will allow games designers to create more immersive game worlds with lifelike wildlife.

Q. "How" will you answer it?
A. I will attempt to implement this program and note the results

Q."So what" will be
                              1. your measure of success?
                              2. the significance of what you have done?

A.     1. I will measure my success by the realism of the final simulation, by how well the ecosystem maintains balance.
      
         2. Whilst it won't change the world, i hope my work may one day allow for much more realistic and immersive gaming.



This questionnaire highlighted a lot of the areas where I will need to act if  want to be successful with this project, like seeking forum opinions or putting more effort into maintaining this blog. Next post should be worksheet 3, a draft proposal.
