Abstract
In this bachelor thesis I describe my investigations of the use of tools in
animal species in the simulation environment Framsticks. The choice for Framsticks
is described in detail and experiences with the simulator are documented
in this thesis. By conducting several simulations, I investigate if it is possible to
find out in what kind of environments tool use evolves. The difference between
the worlds in the experiments is the different amounts of food present. The
results show that only in a world with very little food, tool use emerges.
The choice for Framsticks is described in detail and experiences with the
simulator are documented in this thesis.
