### Glife-0.2.1 README file

    gLife
    -----

    	An artificial life implementation using GNOME :) It will try to emulate
    an Artificial Society. It will implement reproduction, and movement. Movement
    will be based on the 'vision' of the animals. In the future there will also be
    terrain interaction (consume food, and food 'reproduction rate') - this will
    also come along with animal 'metabolism' rates. After this is done, combat and
    'culture' factors will be added - Maybe inheritance. Among other things :) The
    aim is to keep everything HIGHLY configurable.

    Reading
    -------

    Growing Artificial Societies by (FIXME: Author's names) - VERY VERY VERY good
    book - This is exactly what I am doing :) I'll borrow rules from here where
    appropriate (Right now, I'm using rules from my head based on my commen
    sense/logic - very similiar to this book's rules though)

    Artificial Life, by Steven Levy - Wow, I'm in the process of reading it, but
    this book has impressed me so far. Takes the complex thoughts of artificial life
    and expresses them very simply. Good for theory, background, information on this
    field - not good if you're just interested in code/algorithms (not sure about
    algorithms - I haven't gotten that far yet) (Note: Steven Levy also author'd the
    book 'Hackers' if that gives you any inclination to buy/read this book)
