ANN: PyInkblot - Creating Rorschach Inkblots using Genetic Algorithms

[placid]

Hi All,

I've been working on a 'toy' application for the past month or so
called PyInkblot.

Simply mirroring a random plotting of half of a grid onto the second
half, you can create pictures that look 'organic' like Rorschach
Inkblot's.

PyInkblot uses pygene for the Genetic Algorithm backend and pygame to
draw the 'organisms' onto the screen. The user selects 0 or more (up
to 6) of the organisms to go into a new population, more organism's
will be added until there is 6 in the new population. Then a new
generation is created using this population.

To be able to try out PyInkblot you need the following packages

    * pygame1.8.0
    * pygene0.2.1
    * python2.4

and PyInkblot can be downloaded from

Please provide feedback/criticism/tips !

Cheers
