Twin Cities Code Camp

Learn a bit about how to use artificial life algorithms and evolutionary algorithms to survive the coming zombie apocalypse. Evolutionary algorithms are inspired by some mechanisms from biologicial evolution (reproduction, mutation, recombination and selection) but aren't hindered by silly little things like how real biological systems actually work. We can harness these ideas to solve problems and optimize strategies that can help us get through our day to day activities or help us avoid having our brains eaten. The presentation will range from fundamental ideas to functional demos done in JavaScript (or CoffeeScript).
