The most interesting AI project that I've seen - and one that could easil= y be=20 adapted to Euphoria code - is the one used in the 'Creatures' game. The w= ord=20 'game' here is a bit of a misnomer, since it's more a simulation of AI=20 creatures (called 'Norns'). Unfortunately, some of the nicer articles are no longer available on the = web,=20 but this is probably the best overview: http://www.creatures.co.uk/library/science/sci_1exercise.htm In addition to using a neural net, the creatures also have simulated=20 biochemistry, which turns out to be useful for quite a number of reasons.= =20 Most valuably, they connect drive reduction to rewards, which allow a=20 generalized system of learning. There are some nice sites which detail the inner workings of the Norn=20 biochemistry, as well as the file formats. For example: http://www.double.co.nz/creatures/ -- David Cuny
