Abstract
CodeMonkey is a GUI driven software development platform that allows non-experts and experts alike to turn an evolutionary algorithm design into a working Java program, with a minimal amount of manual code entry. This paper describes the concepts behind CodeMonkey, its internal architecture and manner of use. It concludes with a simple application that exhibits its utilization for multi-dimensional function optimization. CodeMonkey is provided free of charge, for non-commercial users, as a plug-in for the Eclipse platform.
