EKB just spotted this browsing SourceForge:

 Description: "EcoLab is both the name of a software package and a
               research project that is looking at the dynamics of
               evolution. EcoLab the software package is now a fairly
               complete agent-based simulation system." (From web site)

From the description:

The model is implemented as a C++ object. Support for more advanced data structures and algorithms are available through C++'s standard library.
A scripting language TCL can access the model's methods and instance variables, allowing experiments to be set up dynamically at runtime
The model can be run in GUI mode through the use of Tk and BLT widgets. Various graphs and histogramming tools are available for use.

AM I recently found this article about the package. It stresses the use of Tcl and Tk to control the simulations. (One strange thing: arXiv shows it as dating from january 2004, but the PDF has a date october 2018. I'd say this proves that was still maintained and developed until at least a few years ago)
