I did something similar around 2008: (but in Lisp!): https://github.com/smanek/ga

Had to write my own bitmap processing library, since couldn't find anything fast enough off the shelf :-D Handled alpha blending, file i/o, etc (checkout the bitmap.lisp and color.lisp files in the repo).

Here's a video of it 'evolving' a picture of John McCarthy (best individual from each generation): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_VFZ_ON0A8

And here it is doing the Mona Lisa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1ZPSbImvFE

You can see my videos at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1ZPSbImvFE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_VFZ_ON0A8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbyQomrJSeU

Due to time constraints (I underestimated the time it would take to write a fast bitmap/polygon library) I only let those simulations run for ~1 hr each.

I love the evolution of McCarthy!

Someone should do Paul Graham, so he can write a new lisp dialect to write another program to evolve another version of Paul Graham to write a new lisp dialect to write another program to evolve another version of Paul Graham to write a new lisp dialect to write another program to evolve another version of Paul Graham to write a new lisp dialect to...

I looked at the static pictures in the presentation PDF. Now, I've looked at the videos though. Great stuff.
