There is some software for genetic algorithms in Ruby, like: http://gga4r.rubyforge.org/ or constraint programming, http://conssolv.rubyforge.org/ http://gecoder.rubyforge.org/ A good place to look for Ruby and science in general is : http://sciruby.codeforpeople.com/ If you want to use C/C++ code from Ruby, you might be interested in following this project: http://rubyforge.org/projects/rbplusplus/ Best regards, Axel -- 249 Spiele f�r nur 1 Preis.
