in reply to Be a god! (insert evil laughter here)

As a fan of both cellular autonoma and genetic algorithms, I'm really pleased that you posted this. You might want to look at this paper on the topic in case you haven't seen it.

Also, on the speed issue, have you considered trying 1D autonoma? They can also be quite interesting, especially if you add colour as a characteristic, and/or vary the character used for each cell (though of course that slows it down again somewhat...).

    I haven't tried 1D, but that's why I started this entire thing with writing Algorithm::Genetic. It's probably not as robust as more advanced methods, but it gives a good starting point (and I'd love more comments about it *winkwinknudgenudge*). But since plugging in any system that can be mutated and breeded is easy to do here, it shouldn't be too hard.
