[H2]Frequently Asked Questions[/H2]

[B]Why did you develop the Noble Ape Simulation?[/B]
[P]

When I first started developing the Nervana Simulation (as it was originally called) in 1996, I was quite idealistic. I was 19, at University, and it seemed like a challenging and interesting project that would test my knowledge of physics, biology, philosophy and optimized programming.
[P]
Now, the Noble Ape Simulation is like a warm cup of tea. It is something very familiar to me. The development and the documentation represents a substantial body of work. The ability to develop something as detailed as the Noble Ape Simulation and give it away to the digital world is very liberating.
