Further understanding of polymorphism
Creating memory diagrams
Biological Game of Life
This laboratory brings together two problems. One of them is the Game of Life; invented by the Cambridge mathematician John Conway.
The game consists of a two dimensional grid, where each cell is occupied or not. Based on simple rules, a cell can live, die or multiply. Since
this laboratory is about inheritance, we are introducing a new concept to the game: let the content of a cell be an Organism, where an
Organism can be either a Plant or an Animal. The animals are further divided into herbivores and carnivores. All the organisms have an
update method that determines, based on its neighborhood, if this Organism will survive to the next generation. The particular survival rules
depend on the particular Organism.
The class Simulation is the heart of this application. A run consists of fixed number of discrete generations. At the start of the
simulation, a two dimensional grid is created and initialized with a population of organisms. At each generation, the simulation gathers, for
each Organism, the list of its neighbors; a cell has a maximum of 8 neighbors. The method update of the Organism receives the list of
neighbors and this information is used to determine if the Organism remains alive or dies. New organisms come to life at each generation,
and the dead organisms are removed from the grid. The simulation ends when the maximum number of generations has been reached. You
will be implementing the classes that determine behavior of the simulation; the class Organism and its descendants.
1 Organism
Implement an abstract class, called Organism, to represent the characteristics that are common to all the organisms. Namely,
1. An Organism is alive or not; all the organisms are alive at birth;
2. It has an instance method, boolean isAlive(), that returns true if this Organism is alive, and false otherwise;

3. It declares an abstract (instance) method, void update( Organism[] neighbors ), that will be implemented by the subclasses of
Organisms.
2 Plant
Create a subclass of Organism to represent the characteristics of all plants. This will be a concrete class called Plant.
1. Give an implementation for the method void update( Organism[] neighbors ),
A Plant dies when surrounded by 5 or more neighboring organisms;
A Plant dies if it is surrounded by 2 or more Herbivores.
If none of the above rules apply, a Plant can live forever.
2. Implement a method public String toString() to return the String “P” (quotes not included).
3 Animal
Create an abstract subclass of Organism to represent the characteristics of all animals, call this class Animal.
1. All animals have an age. At the birth of the Animal, its age is 0. At every generation (each call to the method update) the age will be
incremented by 1;
2. Create an access method that returns the age of this Animal.
4 Herbivore
A Herbivore is an Animal that eats plants (i.e. is a subclass of Animal).
1. Implement the method public void update( Organism[] neighbours ), such that,
A Herbivore dies unless it is surrounded by at least one Plant;
A Herbivore cannot live more than 20 generations.
2. Implement a method public String toString() to return the String “H” (quotes not included).
5 Carnivore
A Carnivore is an Animal that eats other animals.
1. A Carnivore must eat regularly. If a Carnivore is not surrounded by at least one Animal for a given generation, this counts as one
fasting generation;

2. Implement the method public void update(Organism[] neighbours), such that,
A Carnivore dies after four consecutive generations of fasting;
A Carnivore cannot live more than 15 generations.
3. Implement a method public String toString() to return the String “C” (quotes not included).
6 Simulation
As explained in the introduction, the Simulation is the hearth of this program. It creates the initial population of Organisms and orchestrates
the simulation. Complete the implementation by creating the following two methods.
1. Implement the method public String toString() that displays the content of the grid. The format is as follows, the header consists
of the label “Generation = ” followed by the current number of generations. It is followed by a two dimensional grid of cells, where
each cell is represented by the String “[X]”, where X is a blank symbol (space) if the cell is not occupied or a symbol that depends of
the particular Organism that occupies the cell. See below for an example;
2. Implement the method public void tabulate() that displays statistics about the current population. Specifically, it lists the total
number of Organisms, Plants, Animals, Herbivores and Carnivores. See below for an example.

7 Quiz (1 mark)
Draw memory diagrams for all variables and objects created during the execution of the main method below.
class Singleton {
private int value;
Singleton( int value ) {
this.value = value;
}
}
class Pair {
private Object first;
private Object second;
Pair( Object first, Object second ) {
this.first = first;
this.second = second;
}
}
public class Quiz {
public static void main( String[] args ) {
Singleton s;
Pair p1, p2;
s = new Singleton( 99 );
p2 = new Pair( s, null );
p1 = new Pair( s, p2 );
}
}
Create a file called README.txt containing your name, student id, as well as the answer to the above quiz. Put all the files that were
created for this assignment, including the README file, into a directory called l5_123456, where 123456 has been substituted by your
student id. Create a jar file with the content of that directory (make sure that it has a top directory named l5_123456). Now submit the
archive (l5_123456.jar) using Blackboard Learn:
http://uottawa.blackboard.com/
If your TA agrees with this, you can draw the memory diagrams for the quiz on a piece of paper (with your name and student id) that
you will hand in to her (him). You still need to upload the files for the assignment on the Virtual Campus.
