I designed and prototyped an artificial life framework for simulation (or games) in Java 8. When I was happy with what I had made and how it could be used the first thing I thought about was making it open source. Actually getting to the point where anyone can use or contribute to it was a right nightmare (had no doc at all)!

I think my open source framework would be really useful to students or to anyone going open source. Here is why:

• JALSE is on GitHub: this means you really have to learn git (I'd like to know why any new project wouldn't use git). Source control systems seem like a unnecessary thing when you're working solo but as a team its 101. GitHub makes it easy by having everything visually available to you (and it's pretty). JALSE GitHub
• JALSE is built by gradle: It really doesn't matter what you use to build as long as it makes your life easier (and for me that's gradle). It's clean and easy to read what's happening and it's the best parts of Ant,
