I have made available FreeReports, a GPL licensed reporting library for Visual C++.  The C++ class source can be used directly, or used via the OCX wrapper.

Assembly GP

I did an advanced evolutionary computation course at university, during which time I wrote a few relatively simply genetic algorithms. This project can build a small assembly program to manipulate a number of initial registers to reach a set of target registers. The program is an example of how linear programs can be encoded and how well operators work for such a representation.

Visual GA

This program was originally written with the idea of being able to generate pictures genetically. As the program requires such a vast number of human evaluations this was kind of ditched. Nevertheless, the program shows in a visual way how the genetic algorithms work. Again the program is relatively simply, but shows methods of recombination, as well as elitism.

Typing speed tester

This is a simple program I wrote to test typing speed. It doesn't take into consideration spelling errors, etc, but gives a raw count of the number of words, and relative speed per minute.

Quoter

This program takes a block of text, either from the clipboard or by dragging text to it, then adds "> " before each line. I use this because sometimes Outlook Express 6 doesn't quote a reply email properly. It's fairly simple, but does its job fairly well.

Prisoner Dilemma GA

This program shows a number of more sophisticated evolutionary techniques, such as speciation and niching. The program also offers quite a few parameters to change, making it good to show what effect selection and mutation rates effect evolution. It also gives a good idea of the 'No free lunch' theorem.

Tinydate

This is literally just a VC component put onto a FormView. I often find it handy to look at though, as it's very quick to load and easy to use.

Snake

This is a snake clone similar to that of Snake II on Nokia mobile phones.
