Abstract
Implementing genetics and reproduction for artificial life
involves a set of tasks that are only loosely dependent on the type of
agent or the method of reproduction. Creatur is a software framework
for automating experiments with artificial life, and a library of modules
that can be used to implement agents. In this paper we describe how
Creatur uses Haskell features such as monads, domain-specific embedded
languages, and datatype-generic programming to simplify the implementation
of genetics and reproduction. We discuss the possibility that type
families could support duplicate instance declarations in appropriate circumstances.
