  I'm looking for a few simple games/problems that can be played/solved
genetically.  I'm just trying to practice with the concept.  The best
simple project I've been able to come up with so far is generating a
Blackjack strategy genetically.  A hit or a stay decision will be based
on two things:  the dealers up card and the current total of the player's
hand.
  According to Scarne ( _Scarne on Cards_ ), there are simple strategies
using only this info that can significantly reduce the bank's 5.3% or so
advantage.  He gives his recommended strategies, and I thought it would
be a good exercise to verify them with genetic programming.

  Any others?
