Open Source Genetic Image Generation Software

maloi writes: "A couple of years ago, I wrote some software to mimic the genetic image generation software Karl Sims describes in his paper Artificial Evolution for Computer Graphics. After neglecting it for a long time, I finally got around to it again a few weeks ago, cleaned it up a bit, and released it under the GPL. You can now find it at Sourceforge. There's also a bit more info about it at Kaizolabs. I should mention that this is my first foray into open source development, so if there's anyone interested in both working on it and perhaps lending some guidance to me, it would be greatly appreciated!"

    Because it is something worth noting. SOmebody decided that it was news for nerds/stuff that matters.

    Genetic Algorithms are a cool concept, and w/o a PhD in CS, something that is beyond most peoples understanding. There has been a lot of atalk about it, and now there is a sample project so hackers that want to take a look at source code can dig through it.

    I will agree that there are thousands of things on SourceForge that are neglected. Mostly they are neglected by the people that posted them there.
