    I am a bit of a web programmer, most of my professional work deals with PHP, Flash, Javascript languages. I have recently started working with various AI / Alife concepts. Perticular i have started playing around with some use of neural nets as part of an flash project. Anyone else recently working in flash for this, please share any of your experiences.

    Also, with just starting in AI life, i have been able to write simple NeuralNet, and GA classes. What are some good starter problems to put this net towards?

    You would be redoing what has already been done many times before but the classic single number "neural" network projects have been pattern classification learning. To get a history of single number neural networks along with the principles involved with them see these links on my Simple Brain Resources site here:

    http://www.neurocomputing.org/NNHistoryTo1960.aspx
    http://www.neurocomputing.org/NNHistoryTo1990.aspx

    But if you want use more realistic neurons and work at the frontiers of knowledge look into spiking neural networks. The single number neural networks are called artificial neural networks for a reason and in my opinion have no place in artificial life projects (which should be called simulated life projects) :)

    A tricky one is to get the computer to tell the difference between (images of) a cat and a dog. 4 year olds can do that!
