L and D - an Artificial Life program
Hi all,
I've uploaded a program that should show up soon. It is an artifical life
program that is fairly simple in programming, but has elaborate behavior and an
evolutionary capability that is reported to the user. It is not a game, but
a process to be watched, perhaps left running while doing something else and
returned to occasionally. Speed is important, so bind or translate it if
possible.
I hope to do other things with the idea, such as recording actions and playing
them back at high speed (you've read the program, now see the movie), or
possibly a screensaver version at full screen size (the current version
runs in a fixed-size 800x600 window). If someone would like to "fork" this
in any way at all, be my guest. Also, if anyone has an opinion about making
the program better and faster (such as the use of a particular graphics
library or a better way of handling the help file), please pass the
information along.
Hope you will give L and D a try, and if you have one percent as much fun
with it as I've had, you'll have a good time.
