It sounds like an incredibly neat idea, but where do you even begin
choosing what genes are going to compose the DNA of your NPC's and 
monsters.

Also, would you do it in a simply dominant/recessive manner, i.e. a
binary XORed type deal? Or would you allow more than an on-off state
for the "gene"? This would translate to something of a percentage chance
of doing something with the percentages being weighted through learning.

Just wondering...
