I would like to announce the release of a free demo version of my Brain Circuit Simulator that uses the 6.5 engine (if only using cones and spheres counts that is). It along with support forums and down loadable circuit examples can be found at softstatemagic.com. Videos of brain circuits during simulation can be found at
http://www.youtube.com/user/Ironstead. The demo does everything the full version will except same to disk.
I would like to thank all the developers of TrueVision3D for providing a low cost and very capable engine. I will be using more of it in future versions as I add a 3-D object test environment that uses the engine's physics to test how various brain circuits are able to interact in a virtual world. I even hope to include simple test animals (like trilobites and snails) in which you can embed their brains for fully integrated testing. Also lots of thanks go out to the members of this forum for when I arrived I was a complete noob in regards to the 3-D world.
The full version (to cost $39.95) awaits finding a good secure e-commerce solution for .NET programs. I am having trouble getting information about Plimus's Plimloc. Their documentation states it is available after sign-up which is not true. Support told me to contact their sales who have not replied back. A back-up plan is that Microsoft itself since last October has licensing control servers for .NET but no associated e-commerce.
The arrival of multi-core computers comes at just the right time since neural circuits are inherently parallel. So perhaps in the not too distant future we will see games with this sort of Real Simulated Intelligence (R.S.S.) for some main NPC characters as opposed to A.I.
All feedback on the software is welcome.
