Biogenesis VS Genetic Cars 2

Eventually I want to incorporate all of this work into a tiny evolution simulation, where little creatures evolve in a fluid-filled environment, a la https://sourceforge.net/projects/biogenesis/ but optimized for GPU and with fluid dynamics. Source: about 1 year ago

Download Biogenesis (completely free) at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/biogenesis/ The main download includes Biogenesis 0.9 (vanilla), my "Color Mod", and the "X Mod" made by Adam Muschielok (also not active anymore). A user manual for the original version is at: http://biogenesis.sourceforge.net/. Source: about 3 years ago

Watch this for a while, it randomly generates a bunch of triangles and circles, the ones that make it furthest to the right have their code passed onto the next generation with random mutations. In almost no time you'll have a bunch of cars that are evolved specifically for the niche of that track. No guidance needed. Source: 4 months ago

You can actually produce a better analogy with a genetic algorithm. In the linked example, you can watch the evolution of simulated cars. Just take note that while the simulation is a good illustration of evolution, it's also, by necessity, vastly simplified. (I guess running for about 4 billion years would incur off-putting cloud costs.). Source: 4 months ago

This really doesn't require a nural net. You can run similar learning algorithms in your browser. Source: 11 months ago

The idea is to introduce GAs visually first, and so I am hoping to rely on something entertaining (but somewhat abstracted away from them) for the GA itself. Something like this genetic cars algorithm comes to mind. Source: about 1 year ago
