ants, etc.

the evolution of ants is a very nice part of the project, clean + short + easy to read code, good documentation. Really, I like it, now I try to find a task where I could need this... :-)
ps: I am a student from Austria, and I think the the opensource-courses are a very good idea, I hope there will me more in some time!

Thanks, I wrote it :-). 

I agree there seems to be very little real need to use evolution but it is just in it's infancy stage.  Maybe if we could more closely model the complexities of real evolution, it would work better. 

As for putting more things up here, we'll be posting more computer science projects up here as they get done.  Stay tuned....

I tried to compile it in Linux (g++ version 2.95.2), and had to do some small changes:

after the code
for (int i = 0; i < 25; i++)
{
...
}

i does not exist any more but is used, so I declared it outside:
int i;
for (i=0; i<25; i++) { ... }

I modified it in Line 63 and 85.

Thanks - I'll release a "both OS" version of the code as you suggested - thanks.

Also, I included the documentation in the release.
