We would like to announce the release of two new programs for Framsticks. Framsticks is a versatile simulator of artificial life forms, used for research and education in many fields of science, including evolutionary computation, artificial intelligence, neural networks, robotics, biology, cognitive sciences, and neuroscience.
The Framsticks web site address is
- the Framsticks Theater
- FRED, the Framsticks Editor
The Framsticks Theater is an easy-to-use application which illustrates some basic phenomena, like genes and genetics, mutation, evolution, user-driven evolution and artificial selection, walking and swimming, artificial life simulation, virtual world interactions, etc. It includes a number of "shows", and new shows can be added by advanced users or developers.
It can be run on standalone workstations as a show (artistic installations, shops, fairs), as well as for education (e.g. biology, evolution, optimization, simulation, robotics), illustration, attractive graphical background for music, advertisement, entertainment, screen-saving mode, etc.
Framsticks Theater for Windows:
Another program is FRED, the FRamsticks EDitor. It is free, and helps in designing creatures in a friendly way.
Kind regards,
Maciej Komosinski Szymon Ulatowski
