	ScienceDaily: Natural selection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Natural selection is the phrase Charles Darwin used in 1859 for the process he proposed to explain the origin of species and their apparent adaptation to their environment.
		Darwin and Wallace realised that natural selection had a special significance because it explained the evolution of the astounding ways in which organisms are adapted to their environments and the evolution of the millions of species known to exist and have existed on earth, as well as why species are so hard to define.
		Natural selection is distinguished from artificial selection which refers to the evolution of domesticated species as a result of human culling rather than culling by the "natural environment".

	Qwika - similar:Evolution
		Natural selection is the metaphor chosen by Charles Darwin in 1859 to describe what he proposed to be the major force driving the evolution of new species and of those organismic attributes that allow life forms to negotiate their normal environments better than others (see Evolution, Adaptation).
		Sexual selection is the theory that competition for mates between individuals of the same sex (typically males) drives the evolution of certain traits.
		Population genetics is the study of the distribution of and change in allele frequencies under the influence of the four evolutionary forces: natural selection, genetic drift, mutation, and migration.

	Computer game (Linux Reviews)
		The term "computer game" also includes games which display only text (and which can therefore theoretically be played on a teletypewriter) or which use other methods, such as sound or vibration, as their primary feedback device), or a controller (console games), or a combination of any of the above.
		Natural progression of and consumer demand for increased complexity has gradually forced game software companies to be more creative and expansive in their design of new games.
		The popularity of computer and video games, as a whole, has been increasing steadily ever since the 1984-1987 drop-off caused by the video game crash of 1983, and the popularity appears to be continuing to increase.

	Steve's place - Natural Selection - Answers
		Natural selection is the currently accepted model for explaining adaptive evolution in genepools, i.e.
		The most important factor in promoting speciation is reproductive isolation, either by physical barrier (allopatric), by the inviability of certain heterozygotes compared to their homozygous parents (parapatric), or by sexual (genital or behavioural) incompatibility (sympatric).
		Evolution by natural selection requires variation between individuals (as provided by mutation and recombination), heritability of some of this variation (as provided by DNA), and a selection pressure that kills less well adapted organisms (as provided by the limited environment in which organisms capable of exponential reproduction live).

		The pace felt too rushed, the game was too demanding of your system, and the wonderful "rock, paper, scissors" basis of the first was unnecessarily complicated.
		The annoyance to me, as someone who has complained enough in the past when one creative world doesn't reflect itself authentically in another medium, is when the backstory is changed, or elements are altered to fit the new medium, which causes a rift in the consistency of the world.

	Writing Computer Programs by Random Mutation and Natural Selection \| Uncommon Descent
		Natural selection requires that each step be functional but it does not require it to be step towards a predetermined goal.
		The “interesting behaviour” as seen in the game of life does not proceed beyond the original givens, which are the reproduction, movement and dying properties inherent in the world in which it inhabits.
		Of course, neither is a model of evolution, because natural selection does not converge upon a predefined target, but rather optimizes the achievement of a set of goals that are defined by the fundamental laws of nature.

		Using player modeling, a game's AI can adapt both during the course of a single play as well as over multiple sessions, resulting in a computer opponent that changes and evolves with time to suit the player.
		Yet in many games, specifically in all sports simulation games, the AI must be kept in a "sandbox": It should not potentially evolve into nonsensical territory.
		Natural language interfaces were common features of computer entertainment software prior to the advent of sophisticated computer graphics, but these were often repetitive in nature: encountering the same scripted conversation over and over again quickly becomes boring.

		The game has many strategic elements not discussed here and is highly multi-faceted and can have a high learning curve for some advanced strategies.
