GAMusic:

GAMusic 1.0 is a user-friendly interactive demonstration of a simple GA that evolves musical melodies. Here, the user is the FITNESS function. Melodies from the POPULATION can be played and then assigned a fitness. Iteration, RECOMBINATION frequency and MUTATION frequency are all controlled by the user. This program is intended to provide an introduction to GAs and may not be of interest to the experienced GA programmer.

GAMusic was programmed with Microsoft Visual Basic 3.0 for Windows 3.1x. No special sound card is required. GAMusic is distributed as shareware (cost $10) and can be obtained by FTP from ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS/GenAlgs/gamusic.zip or from ftp://fly.bio.indiana.edu/science/ibmpc/gamusic.zip The program is also available from the America Online archive.
