Evolvotron is an interactive "generative art" application for Linux to evolve
images/textures/patterns through an iterative process of random mutation and
user-selection driven evolution. (This process is also often referred to as
"evolutionary art" or "genetic art".) If you like lava lamps, and still think
the Mandelbrot set is cool, this could be the software for you.

Basically the software shows a selection of algorithmically generated images.
You pick one you like and the software mutates the algorithm to produce random
variants. Simply repeat until bored, hopefully encountering some pleasing eye
candy along the way.

The code is licensed under the GPL. It uses Qt and is multi-threaded.

This project was inspired by a panel session at SIGGRAPH many years ago...
probably "Computer art - an oxymoron? Views from the mainstream" at Boston in 1989.
