Evolution of virtual creatures
Description (

This app lets you play with simple simulated creatures and their evolution. It features a few genetic representations ("languages"), where each symbol in a genotype defines some characteristic of a creature (a "phenotype"). Each genetic representation has its own methods of mutation (modifying small parts of a genotype) and crossover (exchanging genes of two parents to produce an offspring). The performance of each creature is evaluated in terms of speed on land, speed in water, and height of its center of mass. These criteria can be set as fitness. Since you have mutation and crossover available to change genotypes randomly, you can run an evolutionary process and see how fitness in the population increases. You can also guide evolution according to your preferences by making creatures you like reproduce and generate their random variations. If you understand a genetic language, you can even edit genes manually by deleting and adding genetic symbols, and this way build a creature you want or improve an existing one. The app features some quests to help you familiarize with genetic languages and the properties of evolution such as convergence, diversity, selection pressure, the influence of mutation rate, or the population size. Advanced users can even try their own formulas for fitness, for example to maximize both height and speed simultaneously, or to add even more criteria. Some demonstrations are included as well that show the concepts of directed (external fitness) and undirected (internal fitness) evolution, mutation, swarming, and communication. This app is based on the Framsticks simulator. You can learn more at http://www.framsticks.com/}

I came across this game recently while looking for some life simulation games, and I instantly saw the potential in this game. I love games like this that are about evolution, artificial life, and biology. However, I found this game’s mechanics and gameplay very frustrating to use. It may just be a skill issue, but things such as editing genotypes, settings, and just how to generally play the game. The lack of explanations/walkthroughs makes it difficult to understand what each feature does and how exactly to use it. I think if this game was a little fleshed out, adding some explanations for the user, it would be extremely good. I think a game like ‘Evolution: Learning Creatures’ would be a great baseline for this game in effort for it to be used effectively by the user. I’m going to give this game 4 stars because it was genuinely fun messing around with my created creatures in the sandbox, but I also don’t want to kill the rating of this mostly underground game with a 3. In reality, I would really give it closer to a 3.5. I would love to see some future improvements to this game down the line!

Playground improvements: - simulate multiple creatures - delete and clone individual creatures - enable/disable energy consumption (creatures can die when they run out of energy; feed them to keep them alive) - enable/disable neural network window Evolution improvements: - option for only-brain mutations (to preserve body design in evolution) - separate water level setting for Evolution and Playground Other improvements: - more complete help messages everywhere - layout improvements, smaller buttons when run on iPad or MacOS

• Colors of sticks of f9 creatures now correspond to f9 genotype letters, making it easier to associate genes with their body counterparts • Slightly changed the way center of gravity and ground reaction forces are calculated, in order to make the simulation more consistent. This can influence the performance of your previously saved creatures • Improved the crossover operator for f9 genotypes • The app should now run more smoothly and reliably on Macs with Apple Silicon
