The understanding and acceptance of evolution by natural selection has become a difficult issue in many parts of the world, particularly the United States of America. The use of games to improve intuition about evolution via natural selection is promising but can be challenging. We propose the use of modifications to commercial games using artificial life techniques to 'stealth teach' about evolution via natural selection, provide a proof-of-concept mod of the game Stardew Valley, and report on its initial reception.

用于直观进化教育的游戏模组中的人工生命

通过自然选择来理解和接受进化已成为世界许多地方，特别是美利坚合众国的难题。使用游戏通过自然选择来提高对进化的直觉是有希望的，但也可能具有挑战性。我们建议使用人工生命技术对商业游戏进行修改，通过自然选择对进化进行“隐形教学”，提供游戏 Stardew Valley 的概念验证模型，并报告其初始接收情况。
