Abstract
Creating interesting virtual worlds is a difficult
task. We are using a variant of genetic programming to
automatically create plants for a virtual environment.
The plants are represented as context-free Lindenmayer
systems. OpenGL is used to visualize and evaluate the
plants. Our plants have to collect virtual sunlight
through their leaves in order to reproduce
successfully. Thus we have realized an interaction
between the plant and its environment. Plants are
either evaluated separately or all individuals of a
population at the same time. The experiments show that
during coevolution plants grow much higher compared to
rather bushy plants when plants are evaluated in
isolation.
