Framsticks

> I'm just wondering what the use of the framstic client servers is.

You can create a client for any purpose you can think of.
A few clients mentioned on the site are dedicated for some purposes.

It is possible.

Yes :-)
Actually, it was done in 2000, but the software was not
officially released. Now, with FramScript, it is much
more powerful.

Framsticks server gives you access to Framsticks simulator
objects similarly as FramScript does, but through the network
sockets. You can do virtually anything you want using the
Framsticks servers - mix genotypes, exchange fitness functions,
or whatever.
