Interesting project: Virtual Creatures

This is a project those interested in Colony may also be interested in. Has relatively little in common with the aims of Colony but another interesting example of stigmergy in computer science and uses the same engine as Colony, Ogre3D.

About Virtual Creatures;

This application is an example of evolutionary computing that you can run on your own Windows PC at home (see the download section). It uses a process similar to biological evolution to gradually evolve a population of virtual creatures in a 3D graphical and physical environment. Much of the inspiration for this project came from the wonderful work of Karl Sims.
