Links

• MandelMusic -- Nick Didkovsky's nifty JSyn applet auralizing the construction of the Mandelbrot set
• older class -- fractals -- some good links
• older class -- fractal delay -- a java implementation of the 'fractal delay'. Also see the maxlisp implementation if you have max/msp on OSX (it's one of the example help patches)

• caos -- one-dimensional cellular automata applet
• MJCell -- two-dimensional cellular automata applet
• Cellsprings -- another two-dimensional cellular automata applet
• g6610 older class -- dated, but some some good examples

• L-systems applet
• Lgrammar
• another L-systems applet
• older class L-systems link -- includes some of Luke DuBois' L-systems patches. There are also links to some older classes with more L-systems information.
• another older class L-systems link -- some fun ones here
• Luke DuBois' doctoral dissertation -- if you want to get serious about musical applications of L-systems, you need to read this.

• MazeSolver -- yes it solves mazes
• peak-finder -- shows how GAs can solve 'optimization' problems
• David Birchfield's research -- former CMC-er; his GA stuff is terrific. Also check out his neural net model.
• older class link -- some semi-working patches using GAs to do varioue things
• even older class link -- but this one has a lot of good info

• older class link -- special guest was Douglas Repetto.
• another older class link -- done by douglas hisself

• older class link -- with Daniel Iglesias's neural-net max patch and some good links
• older class link -- good reference material, links are a little dated though
• David Birchfiel -- again, see his neural net work
