Tiny Evolution Simulation

A tiny evolution simulation of prey (blue dots) and hunters (red dots).
Only genetic component is the movement behaviour.

is this a cellular autonoma?

[sevenclev]

@mooglebee Nope.

[laputahayom]

can you send a download link to me?

[sevenclev]

@laputahayom Sorry, I lost all sources in a system crash last year.

Is the formation of lines genetic or just how you introduce the next generation?

I might be interesting if the preditor had to eat much more prey to stay alive, like birds and bugs.

[sevenclev]

They form lines by themselves. Sometimes they even form corners, if they run diagonally,

@deathsminion25 oooohhhh they developed running in the downward direction... didnt notice that...

@vincentmagician Patterns of movement develop,

Nice simulation! How is the movement behavior encoded into the genome?

[vincentmagician]

this is not evolution as neith the preditor nor the prey developes in any way from thier original state

I did something somehat similar at some point. Instead of predators you had to kill the beings by clicking on them.

The movement pattern was made up of two vector field defined by matrices of forces. One of the matrices would be centered in the mouse cursor, the other one in the center of the world.

Results were pretty unimpressive though" The world matrix was random, the cursor matrix was an outward pointing circle.

I hope it's clear... Anyway nice work! Reminded me of that project.
