"Artificial Life" - that got my antenna waving. Artificial Life is a variety of learning/evolving techniques that are metaphors for natural systems. These techniques include; Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural Networks (MLPs), etc. Just Like A.I., the principles are easy to understand, and not hard to program, but I suppose the whizz-bang added-value comes from how you translate your 'lifeforms' to appear on the screen.
