Evolution Simulators

Know any good ones?

I'm thinking about writing one.  I have seen Darwin Pond but I don't like the creatures.  Ideally I would like everything in the environment, including the creatures, to be made up of a number of unique 'particles' with special properties that affect their behaviour with other particle types.  Each creature would have one special BRAIN particle with a more complex DNA-type code (a simple program) controlling its frame-by-frame interaction with other particle types.

What I dislike about the few sims I have seen, is that the underlying code behaviour of the individual parts is too complex to make the resulting system interesting.  I want to develop something simpler at the base level which is capable of producing something complex.

If anybody with more expertise knows some of the major pitfalls of designing this kind of system I would love to hear them before I dig myself into a project I can't finish.  Or just some cool ones written by other people to play with.

Thanks

Write a virus that copies snippets of code it finds and incorporates it randomly into the code of its offspring.

Then, release on the net.

what are you talking about?  Evolution simulators?  Why do you (want to) mess with that?  I can't see it being remotely accurate, are they?  I've never heard of them...except just now and what I'm putting together from this...

I must not Fear. Fear is the mindkiller . Fear is the little-death that
brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and
through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. ONLY I WILL REMAIN.
