virus: Awesome power of evolution!

One of the greatest things I've discovered about evolution is how if it's modelled in a simulation, how amazingly powerful it actually can be.
One program that models this is called Bitozoa, and it can be found here: http://www.bpp.com.pl/bitozoa/bitozoa.htm
If the settings are set well enough, it is possible to attain a stable state in which the organisms fly through the screen with a level of cunning that is quite remarkable. For Bitozoa2, I have a saved simulation in a rather nice state- http://obelisk.res.cmu.edu/stable.bt2
There is also the program Primordial Life, which is a very neat tool, it permits evolution, but is mostly geared towards having interesting biot behavior. http://www.io.com/life/
Thought suddenly occurred to me that people here might appreciate such things :] Take care!
