Source Code (C and Netlogo):

Netlogo version

The Robby GA package (Robby.nlogo) in Netlogo is self-contained: you can evolve strategies as well as visualize their behavior in different environments.

• Robby the Robot GA package in Netlogo (Netlogo). Note that this file should be saved as "Robby.nlogo". Instructions for running this model are in the Information tab (part of the Netlogo interface) that appears when you start the model.
• Netlogo, a platform for building agent-based simulations

C version

The Robby C package only performs the evolution of strategies. You can use the Netlogo program, RobbyGraphics.nlogo, to visualize the behavior of evolved strategies.

As is described in the writeups, the C package is set up to run on Linux, and may require some modifications (in particular to the random number generation routines) to run on other platorms. Also, the Netlogo graphics package is usable, but doesn't have all the features I would like.

• Instructions for running the C-language GA package, with descriptions of the files in the package.
• Robby the Robot graphics package (without GA) (Netlogo, to be used for visualizing strategies evolved with C package). Note that this file should be saved as "RobbyGraphics.nlogo"
• Instructions for running the Netlogo graphics package.
• Robby the Robot genetic algorithm C source code (zipped archive)
