Just thought I'd share a programming experience with you all. I heard a lecture of a professor on the radio about evolution and he metioned several ways to apply it to computer programs.
So I had to try.
Simple principle. I made one program (nature) to rule 10 others (race or individuals, you choose). I set the 10 programs to play tournaments of 4-in-a-row. All the five loosing programs were deleted, and the remaining 10 were duplicated with RANDOM changes.
You get the picture? The SUPERIOR survives, others vanish.
I only had one minor issue with this experiment. As these tournaments were played incredibly fast, the programs needed to "remember" the sets to actually benefit from their experience.
My 250GB hardrive were filled.
I guess you boys claiming ID to be valid, will also claim I designed +150GB of 4-in-a-row patterns. I will however still trust it was the one program running the rules of the total experiment which generated them (NATURE).
Evolution is a very prooved and simple principle which is a part of nature. Claiming otherwise is like denying 2+2=4.
