UTTER UTTER fucking genius

Dec 17, 2008 20:37

Sometimes in my life I encounter a programmer who is, quite literally, a total and utter fucking genius. So good that I feel like I'm about 10 years old and struggling with my first BASIC program and wondering what

10 GOTO 10

would do.

Roger Alsing. Sir, you are a complete wonderful man. He's developed a sort of survival of the fittest DNA algorithm that works by using 50 translucent polygons that "evolve" to try to match a source image. Each generation, the image mutates. If it's closer to the source image, it keeps it. And so on.

He coded this in 3 hours. *wild sobbing that someone could develop something so beautiful so easily and quickly*




Hopefully you'll see an attachment once it's finished that shows it in action, and how totally awesome it is. The URL for the guy's main page:
