GridWorld FAQs


1. There was a role play for the Marine Biology Simulation. Is there one for GridWorld?
Yes, the authors of the MBS role play, David Levine and Steve Andrionoff, have written a role play for GridWorld.

I also have a modified version that has been field tested and modified by my APCS students and Summer APSI participants. We will cover this in depth during the summer workshops (updated 23 Jul 2008).


1. How do I add my own creatures to the GridWorld Simulation?
Here are the steps that you need to follow to create your own "creature" and insert it into a working GridWorld Project. Have fun!!
