Description:
The basic idea is to evolve flocking behaviour in a population of 20
creatures using an 'implicit fitness function': Individuals will not be
evaluated by a simple function, but will be killed and replaced when
they are caught by a hard- wired predator. Each creature has 8 directional inputs that can sense where other
creatures are, and where the predator is. A creature's controller is
genetically specified by an 8* 8 weight matrix.
Deliverables:
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
Platform:
linux
Must be 100% finished and received by buyer on:
Jan 18, 2003 EDT

I have a clear idea of how to implement this program, since I have
written programs in the past which are similar to parts of this one:
like cellular automata, predator-prey simulations and genetic
algorithms. You may also remember seeing my bid for your other
project (number 39830), in which I demonstrated my familiarity with X
Windows programming in Linux.
It sounds like a really fun project to work on, so I hope you will
accept this bid!
