What a fun project, thank you for sharing the link.

re:

This sounds similar to the "collaborative diffusion" approach to pathfinding [1].

The link to https://github.com/lettergram/pleuro does not work. Do you still have a copy of the code somewhere? I'm curious to learn more about how you modelled the control loops with markov chains.

Was the rough idea that there are states "forage", "eat", "protect", and then probability of transitions between states depends upon the simulated creature's current state & sensor information about the environment?

I maintain a repository of many implementations of classical (tabular) RL algorithms [1] which you might enjoy playing with when starting out. I use it for both research and for student projects. The advantage of avoiding NNs when starting out is that it is much simpler to inspect the inner workings of an algorithm to see whether it's working or not.

I'm always happy to help if something is unclear or difficult so feel free to open issues there :)
