      Yes. I made a game to answer the question “Why aren’t all penguins criminals?”. It was based on a David Attenborough video of ‘criminal penguins’, adelie penguins in Antartica which sometimes steal rocks from each other (in order to build nests). I made a simple dice game where the players were the penguins deciding to steal or not. Some penguins would steal more often, and so we can use the results to predict how many penguins should steal in the real population.
