there is an algorithm called TDLeaf, but I am not convinced 
that it is useful.

NeuroGo in its most recent version uses local connectivity 
and single-point eyes as additional outputs that are 
trained with TD. I will present a paper about this at 
ACG2003 which takes place together with the Computer 
Olympiad in Graz/Austria in November.
