Great work, Kyle! You should have seen whether the swarms could successfully complete a graph theory quiz for you…

Thanks, Kyle–it’s good to hear how the project evolved for you, and this would also be great to share with future IS students.

Thanks Professor Eager! Great to hear from you. I’d be happy to explain some of the artistic inspiration. I attended one of Dr. Palmer’s research talks last spring where he presented a swarm intelligence paper that reminded me of “pixel art” that I see in the video game industry. The original plan for my I.S. involved trying to have swarms make their own form of pixel art; although we ran into issues of what “art” really meant and decided to take a different approach with automated factories (but the emphasis on the visuals stayed).

Thanks Josh and Eli! Hope you two got perfect scores on that latest graph theory quiz; you did do it, right?
