Genesaver

About This Project

Genesaver is a small virtual ecology in the form of a screensaver. The "creatures" are steered around the screen by simple neural nets; successful creatures produce offspring that inherit slightly modified versions of their parent's behavior, so that increasingly intelligent behavior evolves over time.

  A bit of infrastructure tidying and a minor performance enhancement -
  the genome is now not saved when running in "demo mode" in Windows,
  which eliminates that little pause when you close the Windows display
  dialog after modifying Genesaver settings.
