Ah, good to see another Sussex alumnus here ... How's the ALife culture there now?

I found the predator-prey image creation very interesting. On my screen the prey appeared to move at random speeds while the single minded predator, seemed to move at a constant speed, creating an eerie realistic visual. I kept waiting for the prey to reach the light (one of it's objectives) but it would speed in the other direction with the approach of the predator. The prey appeared to be more afraid of the predator than attracted to the light. I wonder if the prey was more attracted to the light and less afraid of the predator, if your program would create a "prettier" picture??? : ).

just say "algo algo algo algo..." over and over again, and you got yourself an algorhythm.

Hi! I did a course in generative creativity at uni, and for my coursework I write an interactive predator-prey simulation that creates emergent images, its nowhere near as good as the other stuff posted here, but its still an interesting alternative approach to alife art I think anyway! You can take a look at it here: http://www.sussex.ac.uk/Users/lsm21/coursework.html

Hi folks, I want to tell fellow alife fans that you can now subscribe to the "Morning Metaflower" and receive a brand new, previously unpublished metaflower in your email every morning, along with access to a much larger version suitable for printing and framing. It's only a dollar per month, and all proceeds support my programming work (see next paragraph!). Check it out at http://mindheart.org/mflowers/. Now, partly supported by Morning Metaflower subscriptions, I am working on Metaflowers 2.0, a Mac OS X application you'll be able to use to breed and refine your own flowers. Watch here or at my web site for updates on my progress! It's going to be a kick-ass cool program.

Enter "define: algorithm" into your nearest Google search box.

What's an algorithm? If you don't mind explaining, you've got me totally curious about alife and I know nothing about it. Those are really beautiful nick.

Hi! I've been using alife techniques to create beautiful art for several years. Take a look at my site and let me know what you think. http://mindheart.org Thanks and best regards to all alifers, Nick Turner

for nearly 20 years of research, that's really lame. i'd like to read about the algorithms that create these images, and i'd like to play with them myself. i'd like to have new images drawn for me instead of viewing a static gallery, and based on which images i view and explore, the server should make a couple more that are similar ... based on that feedback, the evolution of the algorithms (or their parameters)---the 'breeding' process---should continue, in order to make more interesting/beatiful pictures. the work of actually rendering the images could be shifted to the viewer's computer by displaying them in a java applet that paints them and only exchanges parameters and feedback with the server. in short, i'd like to _feel_ the 'cyborganics' behind it.
