creating biomorph
显示 更早的评论
Dear All,
I am trying to find a script to build biomorphs in matlab trough the medium of a genetic alghorithm(see Dawkins, 1986). Does anyone have any suggestion?
thank you

As far as I'm aware, the "biomorphs" have not been implemented in MATLAB. There have been other Dawkins' evolutionary MATLAB demonstrations such as "Methinks it is like a weasel" (http://codesnippets.joyent.com/posts/show/2061) or a blind watchmaker example (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcAq9bmCeR0).
However, I haven't seen biomorphs make it into MATLAB. A good non-MATLAB implementation is at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/EvolvingCritters.aspx.

However, I haven't seen biomorphs make it into MATLAB. A good non-MATLAB implementation is at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/EvolvingCritters.aspx. This implementation is in C#. You need to register at the site for source code.
Another implementation (in javascript with jQuery) is at http://codecarnival.com/svg/biomorphs.svg, with source at http://codecarnival.com/js/biomorphs.js.
Another implementation in java is at http://www.phy.syr.edu/courses/mirror/biomorph/. I don't think the source code is available.
I think it's high time biomorphs were implemented in MATLAB, so I thoroughly encourage you if you're planning to take on this task :)

Aww... point him/her to this website and try to convince them that we're not about to do anything commercial with it (I assume you're not!). The idea is already documented by someone else (Dawkins), implementations are already available in other languages elsewhere. There's not much gained from concealing this MATLAB code, and showing it would benefit others as a learning tool. Who knows, maybe the original MATLAB author would get useful feedback/improvements as well. I, for one, would be interested and willing to tinker with it.
