🦊 Evolutionary Game Theory: Replicator Dynamics (2D)

A 2D Canvas simulation of spatial evolutionary games — Hawk-Dove, Prisoner's Dilemma, and Rock-Paper-Scissors — where cells imitate their fittest neighbour each generation, driving strategy frequencies toward Nash equilibria and evolutionarily stable strategies (ESS).

⚙ Under the hood

A 2D Canvas simulation of the same spatially structured evolutionary games as the 3D original: Hawk-Dove, Prisoner's Dilemma, and Rock-Paper-Scissors played on a 100x62 toroidal grid where every cell imitates its fittest Moore neighbour each generation. Live pie, trend, and payoff-matrix panels track how strategy frequencies converge toward Nash equilibria and evolutionarily stable strategies (ESS) as you tune payoff values and mutation noise.
