Biomorph
Biomorph is an educational applet that aims to teach the basic principles
of evolution: random mutation followed by non-random selection. It is
derived from an algorithm described by Professor Richard Dawkins in
Artificial Life and The Blind Watchmaker.

Swarms, Flocks and Ants
If you do not know about artificial life and digital biology, you should. Read the first three paragraphs when the page appears, then scroll down to explore feeding the artificial ants at the The Antz applet link. If this awakens interest, come back and scroll up to Artificial Swarms to try the ALife and swarms applets. They are at Ariel Dolan's Web Site under Artificial Life. For example, experiment with her Floys: Territorial Alife Critters. Finally, if the "bugs" have bit you, come back again and follow the many links under Java Boids. The Swarms, Flocks and Ants page is from notes for CPS 721 Introduction to Artificial Intelligence. Much more is there. It is all very interesting stuff, especially if you find real biology too yucky.

Nutrition
Analysis Tool and The Energy Calculator
The Nutrition Analysis Tool (NAT) is a web-based program that allows anyone to analyze the foods they eat for various different nutrients. This tool is completely free and quite easy to use. Both versions 1.0 and 2.0 are available here. The Energy Calculator (EC) is an internet-based program that will calculate the amount of energy you expend in a day. You can choose between two options. The advanced form provides more accurate energy expenditure information. The simple form provides a quick and easy to understand analysis of energy expenditure.
