I am pleased to announce a preliminary release of the Generation5 JDK (Java Development Kit). Initially, the idea of the JDK was aimed at making it easier for me to create demonstration applications, but it quickly became apparent that with a little more work, the classes could help many people writing AI/ALife demonstrations and experiments.
So, a preliminary release with Javadoc and example applets has been released. The code is not yet public domain because it is such an early release.
Please also note that the JDK will feature the Generation5 Artificially Intelligent Agent (GAIA) toolkit. The current toolkit is fairly simple, but later releases will include neural networks and the ability to evolve populations of agents. GAIA was inspired in part by the University of Leeds' BEAST project.
Enjoy!
