A C++ command-line program that simulates biological creatures evolving through natural selection in a 2D arena, as featured in the YouTube video 'I programmed some creatures. They evolved.' Creatures have genomes driving neural network brains with sensory inputs and action outputs. The project is now in maintenance-only mode, accepting only bug fixes and discussions.
Use cases
- simulate creatures evolving through natural selection
- experiment with genetic algorithms and neural network brains
- explore how behaviors emerge from evolution
- run agent-based evolution experiments in a 2D world
- learn how an evolution simulator is implemented in C++
When to choose
- you want a self-contained, code-walkthrough-friendly evolution simulator
- you want to reproduce or extend the experiments from the associated YouTube video
- you prefer a lightweight CLI tool configurable via an ini file
When to avoid
- you need a graphical user interface (use the ilyabrilev fork instead)
- you need a production-grade or actively developed research platform
- you need a general-purpose agent-based modeling framework
