Doodle Garden: Screen saver based on Genetic Programming

areas/genetic/gp/systems/doodle/
This directory contains the Doodle Garden Screen Saver. It uses Genetic Programming to evolve new drawings ("doodles") from a basic set (screen). A small computer program draws each doodle. The screen saver mutates (randomly changes) a doodle program, or crosses programs (attach part of one to part of another) with interesting results. When the screen saver is activated, it automatically generates new doodles every few seconds by mutating and crossing the doodles that make up the base screen. By selecting your favorite Doodle Garden Screen, you are exploring Genetic Programming and a fascinating visual space.
