How do you get from point A to point B? For a human, this can be very simple, but for a machine to figure it out can be a much trickier. This program "evolves" a solution to a simple puzzle of getting from one point to another.
The classic "Game of Life" is a visual representation of
simulated life. Each square represents an organism, who's
life cycle is based entirely off a few (deceptively) simple
rules. The ecosystem that evolves is entirely based on the
number of neighbors to each organism at each instant.
This is a simple system of nodes that are attracted to
each other by a gravity like force. Not too complex, but
interesting to watch how they interact.
