GPX/Abstractica: A Karl Sims Genetic Art Workalike
areas/genetic/gp/systems/abs/
This directory contains GPX/Abstractica, a Karl Sims Genetic Art
workalike. Abstractica applies Genetic Programming, using your good
taste as a fitness function, to the generation of abstract images.
Two different versions of the software are included --
abs.tgz Normal executables. Try this one first.
abs_stat.tgz Same as above, but linked with the -Bstatic option
for portability to systems which have their sharable
libraries installed funny. Try this one if the
other doesn't work.
Source code is not included because the authors do not have the
rights to distribute some of the user-interface, image manipulation,
and memory management routines.
