Here is my implementation of the biomorph program described by Richard Dawkins in "The Blind Watchmaker".

This program serves as a demonstration of evolution by artificial selection. Select the biomorph most pleasing to you and it's slightly mutated offspring will appear on the screen. Continue selecting to steer the course of evolution for these simple creatures. Through this random mutation filtered by cumulative non-random selection we see how prodigious complexity and beauty can come from humble beginnings.
