Computer Simulation of AI life, herms, organisms, etc

[Texun]

Several months ago I found a page that I believe was in Java. It had thousands of colored dots that were all the same color except one. I think they were all blue or green, but the "bad guy" was red, and when set to motion the red one would touch one of the others and you could watch the simulated spreading of whatever it was from one bot to another.

There was also another sim where one bot out of thousands would be lost or in danger and the others all worked as a team to find him\her\it.

Has anyone seen this site and if so do you know the URL? I've Googled my butt off trying to find it again but I keep coming up empty. I tried Computer AI, Simulation, Germs, Groups, and etc but with no luck.

Thanks

Sorta of creepy in a way when you think about the possibilities. Slow it down a little to get a better look at how one impacts another and another and another....

There is another sim like that exept one bot is either lost or injured and the rest cruise all over the page looking for him. By touching each other they communicate to each other what ground has already been covered and therefore begin to narrow down the possibilities until they find him.

Check out these other links at teh bottom of the page:
