+==============================+

Welcome to Team Simian's AI Project. The goal of our project is to simulate 
life (using AI) in any area. Integrating 4 different classes of creatures 
(Plants, Prey, Predators and Chuck Norris), we intend on creating a moderately
accurate (and entertaining) model of wildlife.

To run Project COL, simply execute "ProjectCOL.exe" in the bin folder.
