Hi, I've just finished a new package: Avida.
It is an artificial life simulation program based on Tierra. It is a joint project of the Digital Life Laboratory (headed by Chris Adami) at the California Institute of Technology and Richard Lenski's Microbial Evolution laboratory at Michigan State university and is released under a GPL license. The upstream web page is: http://dllab.caltech.edu/avida/ Here goes the description of the program: Avida is an auto-adaptive genetic system designed primarily for use as a platform in Digital or Artificial Life research. In lay terms, Avida is a digital world in which simple computer programs mutate and evolve. Avida allows us to study questions and perform experiments in evolutionalry dynamics and theoretical biology that are intractable in real biological system. I've created man pages and added an icon for the menu. Linda and Lintian do not complain. You can temporarily download the package at: https://baby.yi.org:8000/debian/avida/ There are three packages: avida-base is the common part, and there are two different viewers: avida-viewer is a text-screen viewer that uses ncurses, and avida-qt-viewer is a graphic viewer that uses Qt Widgets. If someone is interested in taking a look at them and giving their opinion, or is interested in the packages themselves, comments are welcome. Thanks, Miry ______________________________________________ Renovamos el Correo Yahoo!: ˇ250 MB GRATIS!
