Evolution of organisms powered by DWRAON (damp-weighted recurrent and/or network) brains, inspired by Andrej Karpathy's Script Bots.
There is currently no recording of the current version of Genesis. However, the following video shows a previous iteration of this project:
This project runs on LÖVE 0.10.0 (Super Toast), and might have problems with colours in later versions.
Compile the MoonScript code to Lua, then use LÖVE to run the simulation:
- Press
<space>to spawn a randomly initialised organism at the mouse position. - Press
<enter>to spawn 10 random organisms at the mouse position. - Press
<tab>to run 1000 update steps without rendering (slightly faster this way).
- Left-click on an organism to select it. This will show a visualisation of the underlying brain and highlight organisms in its family.
- (with an organism already selected) Right-click on another organism to spawn a cross-over baby organism, merging properties of the selected and right-clicked organism.
- Press
<delete>to kill selected agent. - Press
<backspace>to remove the selected agent as well as its entire family.
- Left-click food grid to grow food at mouse position.
- Right-click food grid to remove food at mouse position.
