Here is some old documentation
(lots of verbage) which I used to have on shadow (my favorite
machine). It is the most complete of any documentation so
far.
Here is some
newer documentation which includes images. This was from a presentation that I made for a version of the game that had a genetic learning algorithm included (07Dec1999, CS5350, U of U).
Here's the text that I placed with it when I first placed it on the web:
Today (07Dec1999), I had to give a presentation for my
machine learning project (CS5350, Fall 1999, U of U). As I
know that I couldn't possibly demonstrate the basics of the
game in my allotted time, I created a handout for people to
read if they are at all interested in what I am doing. At
the end of class, my handouts drifted back to me. I made 25
copies, kept 1, and 7 were returned to me. I assume that the
rest ended up in the trash outside or something. Anyways, I
think I did a reasonable job on the handout (much better than
I did with the presentation), so it's available
right here. This
explains the basis for the game, and my approach at the
genetic algorithm that I was using for the project.
If you are thinking about downloading "The Game" (below) you
may want to read at least part of this.
The Game Version 0.9b (original
DOS version, approx. 45k) is now here. It requires DOS,
minimal VGA, a 286 or better, and a mouse (with driver
installed). I am currently writing a new version which will
use the information learned by "The Genetic Game," which I
wrote for my machine learning project. The new version will
require a platform with the gtk-- libraries installed.
If you are interested, there are some older versions (just
slightly different):
Version 0.9a (approx. 43k)
Version 0.99 (approx. 45k)
Here is another version written by Craig, Kent, and Blaine, which they entitled Jump and Grow (approx 61K).
They gave me permission to post it on the web a LONG time ago, and I have since lost contact with them. If anyone knows where to find them, let me know, so I can give them proper credit.
If you want, you can visit my home page. There may be some other interesting stuff there. :)
