-- You can do evolutionary design with an "interactive base" as well.

-- In fact it is *more* fun to develop algorithms after your engine/code
base is interactive and visual.

-- You can visualize and display your algorithms and get to oooh and aaah
over the serendipous(sp?) graphical behaviors of your worked-out math and
algorithms ... it *is* one of the joys :)
