Scaffolding

We have a terrain.
We need to seed the terrain.
Once the plants exist:

We need plants to either survive or not survive
if(they survive)
we want them to possibly reproduce

if(they do reproduce)
we want them to compete
if(the new plant wins)
we want to return the updated matrix
if(the original plant wins)
we want to return the original matrix

...am I missing anything big? I think the hard part about filling this in with real code will be creating the right kind of objects to store variables and what not.

Looking good. You're missing one thing though.

Everything from the second pargraph onwards is going to be in the
plant.timestep function. This is something that will be called multiple
times (once for each iteration!). Hence it's a separate function from the
overall function (called run.ecosystem) that takes in a terrain, seeds it
with plants, and then iteratively calls plant.timestep. Make sense?
