Edward, see smartbug at http://rupert.id.au/schoolgamemaker/samples3/ Bugs start out with a matrix of random numbers which relate their sensor input to motion output through a neural net. This represents their genes. Random mutations in the genetic code happen each cell division. They soon evolve optimum feeding patterns, Programmed in Game Maker but should be doable in Etoys or Scratch Tony _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
