1. Introduction: The Intersection of Nature, Mathematics, and Game Design
In recent years, the field of game development has increasingly turned to nature for inspiration, a practice known as biomimicry. By studying natural systems and behaviors, developers can craft mechanics that resonate with players on a fundamental level, creating more engaging and intuitive experiences. Among these natural systems, bee behavior offers particularly rich insights, from their foraging patterns to hive structures, which can be translated into mathematical models that enhance game design.
