About Guppy

Guppy is a swarm simulator.  It is designed to simulate any system that consists of a team of agents moving through an environment.  When complete, Guppy will contain a large range of biologically and physically-inspired behaviours that can be implemented in agents, and a range of domains which these behaviours can be applied to. 

Guppy is programmed in Java.  The in-built Guppy interfaces allow researchers to easily create their own swarm behaviours and environments to simulate in Guppy.  Simulations using existing behaviours and environments can be designed and run without any programming in Java. The results of simulations can be printed or displayed.

Guppy is being developed at Goldsmiths College as part of the eXtended Particle Swarms research project.
