really nice!
in your fitness function - wouldn't you prefer to normalize somehow for the the line's length? i.e. - longer lines (going between two far away pins) will cover more dark pixels, and are more likely to be picked, even though they might also cover many bright pixels. I wonder if the average darkness of pixels along the line will work better?
Coincidently, I read today a paper [1], which has a nice video demo here [2] describing a very similar system but with only one type of cells and a simple rule. Surprisingly enough, particles form cell type structure and seem to "reproduce".
