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
frams.alife.plframs.alife.plOpen ↗
The two new applications are:
- 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.

Another program is FRED, the FRamsticks EDitor. It is free,
and helps in designing creatures in a friendly way.
FRED also connects to the Framsticks Experimentation Center
