Hi LarryLaffer,
Thanks for the link. Although I've been there before and at a lot of other places, it was good to be reminded.
I had and have no other plans than to just play around with especially GAs and NNs that I know fairly well as an user, and have used in C and VB for 10-15 years. Have not programmed them from scratch, just used and adjusted available freeware code.
That said, it would still be fun to evolve some "intelligent" creatures and visualize them in 3DGS. Once I evolved a simulated two wheelie robot with GA that with the help of a NN tried to go through a simple race track as fast as possible (used the 2D robot simulator from
http://www.mobotsoft.com/mobotsim.htm), and it is something in that direction that I've been dreaming of.
