Purple Spring - Evolved Virtual Creature
Loading...
Uploaded by kjlg74 on Mar 23, 2008
This creature is from a population that has only just begun evolving, so it's only one or two dozen generations "old". If given time, it will find itself in the right position to make a fairly good jump into the air (it makes one in the latter half of this video, for instance). That one jump is all that will count in its fitness evaluation. Anything it does before and after that jump won't count, so all those crazy twists and twitches are not necessarily bad.
This creature is from a run being evolved on the PC of youtube user Treacle109, who has kindly donated some CPU time to this project.

note: at the time I'm writing this, the main site is down, but it should come back in the next couple days. If not, feel free to send me a youtube message to get the software.

i still dont get hw you make this

Oh, thanks for letting me know. On my machine DirectX runs faster. I'd figured that would be the same for everybody, but now I know even that can vary from one machine to another. Interesting.

Oh yes. Colour changes occur from time to time. Colour is a completely neutral trait. It has no effect on fitness at all. So colour is subject to genetic drift as well as other effects like hitchhiking (a colour-change mutation occuring together with some advantageous mutation, and the two spread through the population together).

So it's shrinking the white part? Or making more centered against the spiral? Just curious.

Hey cool I had one like this, but it was way better, it curled up in a ball and sprang out jumping, rolling then springing up again. But I think I deleted it

@Mrxb0x I'm sometimes surprised to see which creatures people on youtube enjoy vs those that I enjoy. I find creatures like this one fun to watch, but somewhat disappointing as evolution results. Nearly 4000 views though! I'd never have guessed it would be so popular when I first posted it.
