Description
Use joints, bones and muscles to build creatures that are only limited by your imagination. Watch how the combination of neural networks and an evolutionary algorithm can enable your creatures to learn and improve at their given tasks all on their own.
The tasks include running, jumping, climbing and flying. Can you design the ultimate creature that is good at all of the tasks?
The latest update allows you to easily share your simulation saves and creature designs with your friends.
Note that this is more of a simulation than a game. There are no real objectives. But there is a lot to learn if you are interested in the basics of machine learning and neural networks. You can even look at the source code if you want.
There is also a Mac & PC version available for download and a browser version for you to try out on the main project website (keiwan.itch.io/evolution).
What’s New
Version 3.1.0
- Added wings and a flying task
- Define a fitness penalty if certain joints touch the ground
- Assign IDs to muscles that should expand and contract at the same time
- Exiting a simulation will now load its creature design into the editor
- Bug fixes
- Stability improvements
Ratings and Reviews
Amazing!
Just great, hoping you could explain what the mutation chance does.. Cus i dont see anything happening when i increase it, and maybe if you could add more stuff like low to high friction joints and riggid and flexible bones, also try fixing the exploit where you can connect a muscle to two bones not linked to each other, then the muscle will just infinitely expand and reach 100% fitnest easily
Developer Response ,
The mutation rate determines the percentage of creatures that get mutated per generation.
I know about the "exploit" but there really isn't anything to gain from designing a creature that way, in fact, it's probably the least interesting thing you could build because it gets to 100% using a loophole and not by actually learning anything. That's why it's just not worth the effort to fix it (a simple limit on the length of the muscle wouldn't work by the way).
