A list of programs using alife type techniques (English/Japanese).

An artificial life simulator project that can also function as a genetic programming system. Written in Java with a graphical interface.

Introduction to artificial life. Each chapter is illustrated by a program or an applet. Chapters are available in PDF.

A web-oriented artificial-life site: Alife, genetic-algorithm and cellular-automata experiments written in cross-platform web languages (Java, tcl/tk), with free source code.

An auto-adaptive genetic system designed primarily for use as a platform in Digital or Artificial Life research. Download source, binaries and documentation. Unix/Windows.

BugBots is a game, sort of. Really it's a project in Artificial Intelligence, and Object Oriented Design with heavy abstraction.

A collection of small tools for Chaos Modelling, based on ideas of Life game, Tierra and others.

Java and C++ programming examples and information including genetic and neural algorithms, automata and natural systems.

DarwinBots is an artificial life software in some ways similar to C-Robots and other programming games. Every simulated creature is a virtual robot with complex input and outputs and each DNA is in fact a program that acts on a memory cells array. Freeware.

Electric Sheep realizes the collective dream of sleeping computers from all over the internet. Free; Linux, MacOS X.

Two flocks of birds migrating to different locations flock together before splitting apart.

Floys are flocking Alife creatures having a territorial awareness: they defend their territory against any stranger. Floys are implemented in Java applets with free source code.

An aquarium simulation written in Java. The program uses neural networks for all of the fish being simulated, and the fish are artificially evolved from random starting information.

Artificial Life for the Macintosh.

An artificial world of lifeforms which eat, move and reproduce. Each species is controlled by a program, and you can write your own lifeforms.

Exploration of fitness landscapes.

Physis is a software platform for testing the evolvability of different assembly-like programming languages.

Pigs and people compares W-learning and the drives action selection mechanism in a Java implementation.

A sourceforge project for an environment for creating and running agent-based models. Tcl/Tk scriptable, cross-platform (Windows and Linux/Unix).

MacOSX software for simulation of artificial life and decentralized systems.
