Artificial Life: ANN-controlled Agents in an evolutionary Environment 3

For a detailed description see my first AL video:

In this simulation run the environment is split into two areas (red lines). You can see two different species evolving. At around 3:30 an agent from the upper-right area tries to reach the lower left region and at around 6:23 the agent manages to reproduce with an agent of the other species. But unfortunately this results in no observable behaviors. At around 7:50 the upper-right species which was reduced to a population of three agents explodes to a big population. This means that the species is alsmost genetically identical. You can see - and I saw this in other simulation runs - that genetically identical species behave good, since they can act as a swarm.
