The people at ANNEvolve have been working hard again and have released EvNim 1.08. This new release fixes a bug in earlier versions. The effect was to initialize only a small part of each chromosome in the initial population, leaving most of the chromosome with zeroes. Version 1.08 will evolve faster, especially at the beginning.
EvNim uses neuroevolution to evolve an ANN that plays the...

The Annevolve project has released another update to their Evsail software, now at release 2.4. This time we added migration. Now, if two or more copies of EvSail are running, then chromosomes will migrate among them. If they are on the same computer, then no additional software is required. If they are on networked machines then an additional program is required. This program is currently...

4play is a new program that performs neuroevolution. It uses simulated genetic evolution in order to optimize an ANN. 4play is being developed by the opensource project ANNEvolve. It is written in standard C for all platforms, and may be downloaded from the sourceforge website, below.
The motivation for this software is to demonstrate that an ANN can store data in memory, and make use of...

The Annevolve project is moving ahead with the release of EvSail 2.2. This program evolves ANNs that control virtual sailboats.
EvSail 2.2 emphasizes the full random mode which was introduced in EvSail 2.0. The program is now able to evolve virtual yachtsmen that can reliably circumnavigate the island in randomly changing winds, and from random starting positions.
This release includes...

Welcome to the Sail Challenge 1.0. See if you have what it takes to create a virtual sailboat controller. We have included an example controller and the sailboat physics model from our EvSail program to get you started. The example controller is an artificial neural network, but yours may be hand coded, or use any technology that appeals to you. You may even use the EvSail software to create a...
