Evolving the Living Wheel! - Evolution Simulator
Ойындар
Welcome to Evolution! Evolution is a free to play evolution game where you use a neural network to program a skeleton using muscles, bones, and joints!
- - - - -
Evolution Simulator Gameplay Overview:
Use joints, bones and muscles to build creatures that are only limited by your imagination. Watch how the combination of a neural network and a genetic algorithm can enable your creatures to "learn" and improve at their given tasks all on their own.
The tasks include running, jumping and climbing. Can you build the ultimate creature that is good at all of the tasks?

Setting generation time that short doesn't really let your creations evolve.

Thisyellowcar It doesn’t work like that it doesn’t evolve to achieve more score IN the evolution, it evolves AFTER the evolution, while having a short amount won’t let the evolution evolve because it has a very limited time to act, letting it a long time will only make it repeat and don’t learn anything after a certain amount of time.

Never seen the dude go past like generation 30 or something like that. Interesting things start happening around generation 100 or so usually.
The ball is supposed to make them jump over it and not to hit them!

I think the way that it works is that if they jump over the ball the species gets a higher chance of surviving, and generations after it will start to be more like that species (evolution and all that)

The wheels I made had a free weight inside which they could swing around to accelerate. Sadly they liked to trow their weight outside of them and let it fall. They didn't look how I wanted, but they got pretty fast.

The problem is that it’s viewing the arms as legs. All limbs are considered to be legs in this
@Dartace2ace
6 жыл бұрын
Crated technically it doesn't know what legs are. All limbs are basically things for the muscles to contract or expand. They then take the best result for the preset task and and attempt to both break down what it was that made it so favorable, while also trying new variations to improve upon the that success in the next generation..

It's all just muscles and bones to it, but it will figure out some muscles can be used for balance, like the ones controlling the "antennas" on the preset Roo creature. It's really good at balancing too, but you have to build it so it can't move after falling down or it will learn to crawl instead. I had to install a crash bar on my unicycle to prevent it from becoming an expert face planter. It then learned to balance perfectly long before it learned to complete a single pedal stroke. It's awesome watching it complete more and more of a single revolution while staying perfectly upright, then falling over, not knowing what to do next. I'm at gen 4300 and it just completed a full revolution, now it just needs to learn to repeat the cycle.

Hey Blitz! I really love your vids and think you are a great youtuber! Keep up the good work!
If you go fast enough down in climbing (using like a triangle or square or something) you can get to a flat area and then if you go down further the ground will just be gone and your creature will fall.
Connect muscles between the same two bones to make it stronger. setting generation time higher is much more effective than just waiting for hours too.
@revimfadli4666

Doesn't the official FAQ debunk that?
The problem is that you can't have locked bones that only move along certain paths, rather than a fully rotational joint.
So fun to watch!! I tried this game yesterday, my humanoids also failed, I did make some sort of legisch thing with two sticks to keep balance and after letting it run for about 100generations they were jumping of the screen and reminded me of bunnies, that was quiet fun :D I also tried making a centipede, that one had less succes ;)
God: **face palm**
Thanks for the link I’ve been looking for this game for a while
Oh my gerd! I played this on Saturday!
The ball triggers their primordal instinct to jump over it .

the first design with the weel inside was almost working, it only needed one more set of muscles that joined the central part crossing each other so it could work as "antagonist" muscles. thats how every articulation works, you need to set of opposing muscles to move it properly (at least). medical student here, want to see it work!
This whole entire evolution game is amazing
You’re pretty cool, and your content is funny. You’ve earned a new subscriber! :D
But imagine an actual, living wheel with flesh, bone, and muscle.
He’s also great at dancing!
usually you would want one muscle per joint, because each muscle has it's own set of code.
"People don't normally walk in a shuffle" I work at wall Mart I beg to differ
Not sure this is evolution as much as it is supposed to be machine learning. Evolution implies changing its characteristics to meet a task but this is more learning to use what it has to complete a task.

I actually tried the ball thing on my own before this video. I made a simple ball shape, connected the outside bones only to the next bones over and but two free moving bones on the inside with 1 muscle on each side of those bones so that it could shift weight around.
I love ur content it's original funny and amazing

Hey blitz this guy spelled your name wrong!
I highly recommend making two separate bones and connecting them with a single muscle. Just a warning though, it might mess up your game
I have not watched this vid yet but I feel this is going great.
Try making the circle smaller? Not sure, just a guess. But please do more of this lol i love this game
Maybe an anatomically correct cheetah would be a cool creation to try??
Each bone making up the circle has to be connected with a muscle to the one after it. That way it can contract between those joints.
Please make more, this game is so addicting. If you do can you make an animal like a dog, cat or other animal
Do another part this is cool
suggestion: spam random joints everywhere, connect it in a way, and add muscle, then see what happens.
I LOVE EVOLUTION I EVEN HAVE IT MY BEST OF GEN. 2 IS THE SPIDER IT WAS WALKING UNTIL IT JUST WENT WEEE ALL THE WAY DOWN THE STAIRS
Keep the time around 8 seconds, add as many creatures as your PC can handle thanks
I think you need to give the human guy elbows, so that way he can learn to flap his wings to stay balanced and to get momentum to walk forward
Hi blitz! Just seeing the vid. Also I subscribed for a very long time! Not on this account though
A tip blitz, take a look at the human foot, the ankle is not directly above the heel, try doing the triangle but moving the ankle more towards the middle
great video i subbed
Blitz your on fire you keep posting your amazing
this needs steam support
Set at least 10 seconds per generation and let it run for lots of generations - like 100 generations. Also, try doing the climbing one.
I love you nice to meet you your my favorite youtuber bliz keep doing your job.😀😉😉😉😉😉

if what you mean is make the wheel doesn't colapse, it is far easier to do. Just do a regular polygon (with about eight sides it seems an wheel) and connect each joint to the two second nearest joints on the "wheel". They don't colapse and it doesn't add too much weight for the creatures. If you do this you will have two squares making the form stable (with the eight sided polygon) or two triangles (with the six sided polygon) or two lines/diagonals (with one square). All of these keep the form almost completely stable. The only possible exception (I didn't teste at all) is when you have an odd sided regular polygon.

Only if they broke
Make a grasshopper!
it uses a neutral network to chose how muscles move , so in the start it will be pretty random, then it will chose the most effective way to move a muscle. So nothing is considered legs, muscles are the only thing which changes.
Thanks for the great video. Basic problem with the wheel you created, is it has triangles with the bones, which cannot move. Just create 16 exactly (!) equal length spokes from a center joint (, without joining the outside of the spokes by bones). Then join each spoke with a muscle with both neighbours. Then strengthen each 2nd muscle to the max and it will run within 2 or 3 iterations.
5:39 generation 11 is doing the floss!!!!
this ad i watched was about depression and i have it so it made me cry
It would be funny to see the ball rolling down the stairs
If you give it a reinforced body and a suitable center it might figure out how to roll by shifting its internal weight.
5:35 best floss ever
i love this game! try more simple shapes
Make this kinda creatures but don't connect the bones that go outwards. Just have a joint in the centre with bones sticking out and see how well it'll do!
How about you try to make something with only using: 15 Joints 20 Bones 40 Muscles.

I looked back in my saved simulations for this game and i found a stick figure at 79th gen... that shuffles right... and fast! I have no idea how i did it but it is possible... somehow... anyways try making a spider climb (even though climbing and obstacle course seem to be the hardest to do).
As I was watching the video, my mutant frogs learned how to jump.
Congrats, you invented the sea urchin
Funny enough, a cartwheeling/rolling thing was one of the first things I tried to make!
Hey Blitz, I had a test thingy on Friday and I had a graph sheet of paper, I made a fighter jet thing from Starwars and I linked every "bone" up with a "muscle", I was wondering if you could try to make that. Btw i love your channel, keep up the good work
you just got a new subscriber
So when is tabs the update coming hot anyway?
5:10 Literally Elvis.....
Pretty sure the wheel was getting stuck because it was missing bones to like 8 of the joints (which you did on purpose for some reason) so it has no way to support the weight of the wheel and then collapse and creates a flat surface the wheel can't overcome once you did a proper wheel, you left the things on the outside which created a rough surface. making it harder for it to roll away.
Reminds me of an armadillos defense mechanism
i just made mine with a joint in the middle and instead of having bones surrounding it i just circled more joints to make like a spiky thing and it worked fine
You are the best youtuber ever
Blitz is just messing up the leg's. It's a 2D simulation but Blitz is making 3D humans.Thats why it can't walk.
STAND UP! STAND UP! When I move you move (just like that) When I move you move (just like that) When I move you move (just like that) Hell Yeah! Hey DJ bring that back!
You gotta make the circles rounder. Just use pythagorean triples.
Some are twitching there arms in a dab
You should point the feet to the right if you want it to run.
Give your muscles leverage on the bones, you have to set the muscle further down towards the end of The Joint to have better leverage so better strength with the muscles
you could replace the inner bones or spokes with muscle
try a track based design. like how tanks roll
Remove bones from inside and legs. Then put muscles connecting every single bone. You get jumping sponge :)
It's like when cartoon characters trip and roll down steps!🌀🔺 😹
I swear the human was dabbing
Blitz, I made a human in this game that worked pretty well, all you have to do is just give it arm and leg joints, have a great day!
You should get rid of the spokes and have a center conected to a wheel with mocles
You could make a square wheel, like tesseracts.
I would suggest you try and make a human from the side view because that would allow him to walk also to get the second leg I would suggest that it be already be lifted at a 90 degree angle
