YEK Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 oh snap, what was that site that you could build vector type creations and get them to walk and apply gravity and force and shit. that website was great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosmachine Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 it's interesting, the cars actually become more aesthetically pleasing over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 it's interesting, the cars actually become more aesthetically pleasing over time. it's not that surprising really. cars are car-shaped because there's not really that many practical shapes to be made for a four (or in this case, two) wheeled vehicle with a low centre of gravity.

Guest Dirty Protest Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Ever get the feeling youve been cheated. Ive had this running through The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer and a cup of tea, so all in all about 45 mins. So at generation 67 its still spunking out monoliths with spinning tops. Every now and again it flukes a car shape and judging from the graph at about gen 30 its went about 230, but apart from the one freak its constantly been a bit shat.

kaini Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 yeah, i'm on gen 13 and have yet to get past it. also i know what you mean about emotional investment... every time some improbably shaped fuckup actually gets anywhere, i find myself rooting for the underdog.

Cryptowen Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 So, if you leave this running long enough does it eventually level off or do you start getting next level cars that transcend their corporal forms & become beings of pure energy?

kaini Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 the evolution seems to show a sharp tail-off over generations (in other words the really important stuff happens in the first 5 or 6 gens). this makes perfect sense with regards to random evolution if you think about it.
