I have fond memories of programming variants of Dawkin's Biomorphs program in my early teens. I even sent him one of my creations, to which a grad student of his replied with kind encouragement!
I have other JavaScript-based emergence and artificial life projects planned so if you liked these, you should sign up for the mailing list to get notified when new projects are released: http://www.emergentmind.com/newsletter
If anyone reading this finds these topics fascinating as well I'm always down for a chat: matthew.h.mazur@gmail.com or @mhmazur - cheers!
Heres's also a fun little video of vintage Dawkins showing off his program: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDxaCJmlIGo
