Numsgil:
Lsqlin is basically a QP, but not all QP are Lsqlin.

Most solvers I've seen for lsqlin turn the problem in to a QP and solve it that way. But that's not a great way to do it, for both performance and robustness reasons.

There might be some reasonable packages for it in python or fortran, and possibly for C, but C# is sort of the red headed step child for numerical packages.

The Microsoft package you linked looks like it's more aimed at data scientists than what I'm doing. It might be able to do what I want it to, but my guess is it's built to solve problems in a more general way than what I need or want.

This sort of thing sits half way between the academic world (with bad open source solutions) and the data science world (with commercial packages aimed at noon real time uses, and all that implies).  I don't know of any thing like BLAS or LAPACK for optimization problems, for instance.

Botsareus:
The main problem I am seeing is people just do not get it. I bet you show the matrix (from the movie, add mutating dinosaurs) on a computer and they will simply go 'Oh, pretty colors, meh, next.' But maybe that is my family experience only.

spork22:
I would like it  :)

Botsareus:
I would too Sporky, I would too.

Moonfisher:
I know people looove physics and all that.  But personally, for evo sims, my main issue has always been speed and multi threading (Sorta same deal).
So is there any chance there may be a mode available running really simple physics in order to boost the speed?
I'd obviously like to have good physics too, but if I need to choose between realistic physics and speed, then I would choose the latter. So personally think it would be a nice option.

Anyway if the priorities of the tasks where democratic I would be voting for multi threading and speed increasing options at the cost of realism or even heavy features or such.

But aside from that what I really want to see is a release, with the absolute bare minimum needed to release. (Graphics would be nice to have though).

I guess I could fetch the source and try it out, but can't seem to find the time in between work and drinking.

And almost forgot, huge thanks to all the people working on this, you're my heroes!
