Has anyone here heard of Tierra? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tierra_(computer_simulation)It was a simulation written in the early 90s where a program was unleashed upon a computer and left to evolve. It could replicate with the possibility of slight mutation, and each new program competed for the resource of CPU processing time like real life organisms compete for food. It displayed some of the principles of evolution even in such a simple system: punctuated equilibrium and even parasites leeching off other programs for survival.
