The Pit is the name given for a non-toroidal gravity sim.

While bots initially receive guaranteed food and be able to reproduce by simply staying at the bottom, population increases will quickly limit their ability to find food and space. Different strategies can then evolve to deal with this. Some of the most common are fixing in position, continually tieing, and flying into the "air" above the masses bellow.
