Artificial Life
Floys
Territorial Critters
Floys - Social, Territorial, Evolving Alife Animals: Floys are simple Artificial Life creatures implemented in Java, VML (DHTML), and Tcl/Tk. Their life-like emergent behavior is dictated by a few very simple, local rules. They extend the family of Boids-like programs by adding an aggressive territorial behavior towards strangers. A screen saver implementation of the Floys is also available.
Genetic Algorithms GA Playground - Genetic algorithms toolkit in Java: The GA Playground is a general purpose GA toolkit implemented in Java, designed for experimenting with genetic algorithms and handling optimization problems. A new problem definition requires only coding of a fitness function and supplying parameters by an Ascii file (similar to Windows ini file).
Cellular Automata JcaToi (Java CA with a text-oriented inteface): This Cellular Automata applet uses the classic Conway's Game of Life rules. However, the CA world (implemented here as an arbitrary background picture) is shared by two parallel, independent, overlapping CA's. It is an interactive applet, where control is achieved through clicking on textual links rather then by the orthodox use of buttons and menus. This enables a friendlier and more descriptive user interface, not limited by the shorthand language of button and menu captions.
Alife Database Alife Database of Alife-related sites: A Searchable Database for Artificial Life and Alife-related sites on the Net. The data is automatically gathered by an intelligent search bot that scans the world wide web for Alife related pages. The interactive database is open to all Alife authors for online modifying existing entries or adding new ones.
Alife Database Web Service Getting Alife Database data programmatically: The Web Service uses the same database as the interactive version described above. It enables sending a query to the database programmatically, either in SOAP format or in HTTP GET or POST, and receive the requested data in XML format (for using the data in another application) or in HTML format (for displaying the data in a browser).
GA-List Archive The Genetic Algorithms (GA-List) Archive is a repository for information related to research in genetic algorithms and other forms of evolutionary computation. This database application enables searching, filtering and sorting of archived GA-List digests. A form is used to define a query, the query retrieves a list of corresponding postings, and selecting any posting will display the full text in a separate pane.
