By the way, anyone who is new to the whole artificial life area should also take a look at Chris Adami's Avida: video [0], site [1]. Some Nature papers even came out of it, e.g. [2]. I'm going to shamelessly plug two abandonware projects of mine, being an agent-based neural network evolution sim [3] and a spatial game theory lab [4]. These might be interesting to people who like this kind of stuff. But there's a huge amount of other stuff out there, e.g. projects like DarwinPond and prolific researchers like Martin Nowak [5].
