 1. Biomorphs   This program produces an evolving organism using only a simple Y shape and 13 Genes.  The results can be quite complex. This program is based on my reading of Richard Dawkin's "The Blind Watchmaker" and applying some of the ideas to a program using JavaScript and a Java Applet. Biomorph.class
 2. Geometric Shapes This program tries to find the best Area to Perimeter ratio for various possible size shapes with various number of sides.  geoshapes3.class  
 3. fitgraph This program will take input points (x,y) and tries to find an equation that incliudes all of them.  You decide the form the equation should be.  As the eqaution evolves the current best graph will always be shown. fitgraph.class

 To run  programs offline you need to save 2 files: (1) the web page and (2) the class for that web page.  Download and save the class(es)  in the same directory as you saved the web page.
