[REBOL] Re: Artificial Life in Rebol ?

Hello Oldes,
well overstating...
it was just one of the reasons and really not the most important. It's
like two czech sequnces (there were only two of them). The GUI's
reworked now so I think it's closed chapter. But I want to say something
else.
You think that it's not fair that some cells are 'smarter' and can do
more 'actions' in one event. Look at real world. You have snails and
gepards, gepards are times faster than snails and is that fair? I think
yes. Some 'creatures' are more advanced than the others, people have
brains and they can do more things than both snails and gepards. And is
that fair?
I think that our simulation is not like Conway's life where no cells
really exist, they're just result of some basic rules and you can say
that it's not fair that some configuration can lead to big number of
cells (where did the cells get from? From - nothing???) Our cells are
individuals, they have their own rules like snails and gepards and people.
Yes, the code is messy and there is not very much different kinds of
cells. But there was discussion about artificial life on the ML so I
thought it's good idea to show the work already done. Yes, it needs
improvements but we both know that it's not number one on our priority
list ;) so why not to release it (you know, hard drives can crash so at
least it's archived somewhere ;)
have good time, oldes,
bye, bolek
