Predator Prey Relations

This is a C++ simulation of Deer/Wolf population dynamics.

Robert Spieldenner

Hylton High School

For the 1999 Science Fair Spieldenner designed a program to simulate a predator prey relation between wolves and deer. He wrote the program in the C++ programming language. Spieldenner was not able to manipulate the program to maintain equilibrium in the environment, but the program could determine if 1000 deer could support a user entered number of wolves. The conclusion of the project was that a population of 1000 deer could support 19 wolves. Approximately 50 deer are required per wolf.
