One of the more fun/creative things I've done with code involved playing with Artificial Life. I put up a repository here: https://github.com/secretGeek/robots-versus-electric-sheep https://github.com/secretGeek/robots-versus-electric-sheep This was a C# program (with a winforms frontend) that simulated several life forms interacting, and included a simple genetic algorithm. It was a lot of fun to write and tinker with. "Two species, the blue robots and the gray sheep, wander around a paddock, competing to eat grass." "They can breed only with their own species, and their offspring will inherit genes from both parents (with some mutation possible). Genes control the animal's inquisitiveness and other characteristics." "It is strangely mesmerizing."
