A futile hope...

[doyle]

Don't suppose anybody would be able to give me some clue on where to start on my coursework assignment -

"Write a computer program in C to investigate the evolution of single-celled automata."

Until I googled it I assumed automata were a type of amoeba...

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Curse astrophysics for requiring me to learn programming. And I have the horrid suspicion that Spike and Angel (the research computers in the Physics department) will make me learn to use Linux.

Spike-and-Angel the computers are cool. Linux takes about a day of going 'Why did I pick this project!?' tolearn, and then you're off. If you get on Angel next semester and find any incriminating Star Wars or Harry Potter saved, cover for me, will you? ;-)
