Is anyone here familiar enough with the latest C++ standard to join me
in designing a Typogenetics Engine? I've been toying with this problem
for a long long time and the multiple levels of abstraction are really
puzzling me. Typogenetics is a typographical code devised by Douglas
Hofstadter in "Godel, Escher, Bach" to simplify and illustrate a few
genetic concepts.

This projects means a lot to me: on the one hand, I'd like to expand
on Typogenetics and turn it into a multi-purpose "generator" to create
music, images, compression... and on the other hand, it's a nice OOP
design problem that will help me further grasp C++ techniques.

If you are interested, I'll send you what I have so far, and would
very much appreciate any comments you may have on the subject, first
to design and implement the Engine, and also to see how far we can
stretch it.

Hoping to hear from you soon,

Robin Y. Millette
