I'm an undergrad in Computer Science here at UNM, planning on working on entertainment software in some way, shape, or form after graduating. Artificial life is interesting to me from a number of different angles, primarily the aesthetics of a-life systems, but also the robust computation aspects, as well as the slightly esoteric, ultimately irrelevant “is it life?” philosophical debate.

More of an implementation oriented person than a science-y one, but not exclusively so.

I worked on Siphon (IFDM), Automaton and Polyomino (In-Progress).

I have a saved, exported VirtualBox image of Linux Mint with the MFM installed if anyone wants it

• People page created
• Got MFM running on Debian Mint inside VirtualBox
• But God, is it ever slow

• Worked on shark week challenge 2 in lab. No dice.

• Worked on shark week challenge 2 in lab with Chris. Unable to get past 80 kAEPS

• Worked on shark week challenge 2 in lab. Results so far are… unpromising
• Difficulty compounded by screwed up screen resolution on lab computers. Can't see both board-fill statistics and speed statistics. Can't fix it in system settings.
