<p><em>As mentioned in the introduction, one way to use this book is to build a single project over the course of reading it, incorporating elements from each chapter as you go. One suggestion is to simulate an ecosystem. Imagine a population of computational creatures living in and around a digital pond, interacting with one another according to various rules.</em></p>
<p>Step 0 Exercise:</p>
<p><strong>Step 0 Exercise</strong></p>
<p>Develop a set of rules for simulating the real-world behavior of a creature, building on top of principles from the random walk or other noise-driven motions. Can you simulate a jittery bug that flies in unpredictable ways, or perhaps a floating leaf carried by an inconsistent breeze? Start by exploring how much you can express a creature’s personality purely through its behavior. Then you can think about its visual characteristics.</p>
<p>Here’s an illustration to help you generate ideas for building an ecosystem based on the topics covered in this book. Watch how the illustration evolves in each subsequent chapter as new concepts and techniques are introduced.</p>
