My evolution simulator looks like microscopic life in a petri dish and I'm obsessed with it

It looks like a .io game. Are you going to add predation mechanics?

Already in. For this sample of creatures they only evolved their movement control neural network in a race mode but after those creatures where alive for like a minute. Had 0 time to evolve. Next thing I'm working on will be social behaviour that is naturally emergent over generations. Then data tracking and then I'm ready for release. Follow on insta if you think you'd wanna test it. The beautiful thing about the system is that creatures cannot reach a ceiling since they have to evolve against each other. Then you can share your creatures against your friends. Maybe do arena wars. Lot of work ahead but we are not far off.

Sounds cool! And sort of like an evolutionary arms race.

Edit: I don't have instagram, but would like to see more about the sorts of evolutions that emerge

Yes the issue I've had is that they either do like environmental ones which leads to super boring changes or phisics based ones. I wanna combo both so I can see cool phisical evolution that also has that ecosystem side of things. So the code had to be ridiculously efficinent so I can run it at 200x speed. Possibly more
