Hi all, I've been using racket lately to make open source citizen science games for ecology and evolution research - Dazzlebug is designed to find out if zebra like stripes evolve to confuse movement:
http://dazzle-bug.co.uk/ It uses genetic programming to evolve populations of programs for synthesising patterns, each one is tested by 5 people, the longest to survive on average are selected, mutated and fed into the next generation. It's running a racket server to do all the backend stuff (storing and ranking the populations and other data). This one has only been running a few days and needs some plugging to get more players! :D Egglab is a similar game that has been running for 18 months, and after ~45,000 players it has evolved some quite interesting patterns - we're working on analysing the results at the moment, but the game is still live: https://nightjar.exeter.ac.uk/egglab/ Source: https://github.com/nebogeo/dazzlebug https://github.com/nebogeo/egglab cheers, dave http://fo.am/kernow -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
