Roger Johansson's (aka Roger Alsing) EvoLisa reborn (with F# and ZeroMQ)

Quite some time ago Roger Johansson played with the idea of computer (re)generated art (youtube, blog post). When I started learning F# I needed a project and I decided that this can be interesting one to resurrect.

So, this is Distributed Parallel EvoLisa reimplemented from the scrach using F#, ZeroMQ, MailboxProcessors and a little bit of Reactive Extensions. I'm just putting whatever technology I would like to try into it...

Please note that tuning of this "hill climbing" algorithm (I think that's the name) was not my primary concern at all.

(Please note, this clip is an fast-forward output from original EvoLisa, and is included to give you idea how it works)
