Sharks v. Fish is a radical departure from the original 1984 Wa-tor simulation description. It is a blood relative, however.

It was fun to break all (or most) of the rules. In the spirit of honouring the original creators, I have included the "classic" mode. This mode will look familiar to Wa-tor fans. Everyone moves in lockstep, no thinking allowed. The few deviations from the original are described in the included documentation.

There are two ways to get to classic mode:

Use the command line: SvF.exe -classic

else, if you've already launched in debug mode via: SvF.exe -debug1,

classic mode can be toggled on/off with the 'C' key.

There is a pdf version of the original Scientific American article "Computer Recreations", by A.K. Dewdney included in the package.
