exactly... if you think about it, nearly half of your senses are contact senses (touch, taste, heat/cold, pain) and second half are ranged senses (sight, hearing, smell and partially heat/cold detection). More primitive the creature, bigger preference for the contact senses).

Or not a "one point 'eye' " but something more like an actual eye, where the creature sees the first thing that crosses a certain field of view (I would suggest three lines for that in the simulator to keep it simple). So if the next creature (or stone) is one meter away in the direction that this "vision line" faces, is blue then it gives a certain input based on its colour. Also, to imitate the blurriness that comes in the real world when you look at stuff hundreds of meters away, he could automatically multiply that input by the sigmoid funcition times the distance, so the further things are away, the less certain the creature can be of its colour.

I suggest a camouflage effect where creatures on a color they almost match, fighting is less effective on the creature. Also, on fertile soil, certain plants should grow. There should be a few kinds of plants, plants should give extra food, and different species should evolve to get more mass from a certain plant, or from soil fertilized through fighting or dying creatures. (Which should be a separate type of fertilization in my opinion) by adding new food sources (maybe a water-based food source and aquatic creatures too), biodiversity should hopefully skyrocket.

Adding carnivores, that naturally would not eat plants, but gain power by successfull kill, would naturally fix problem of creatures not willing to watch enviroment. With that, creatures would also have to learn path finding to avoid areas, where they would be cornered or slowed, while they are being chased, and/or find a way to protect themselves (poisonous meat anyone?), and after that, predators would have to have some kind of priorities which spieces they like to attack more, and which are not worth chasing.

If you introduced predation or rapidly fatal tiles they would need to expand their vision in order to avoid them. While the predators would need vision to hunt effectively.

if the probability of two 'cells' mating was inversely proportional to the distance between the two genomes, speciation events might occur, instead of one global cell population. That might also help with the overpopulation problem.

Good idea, although if the outcome is a baby whose neural network is the middle between both parents, if these parents' neural networks worked completely differnent, the baby would die soon anyway. The only thing that is necessary for evolution to evolve creautures who are less likely to mate differet species, is that creatures can know what colour (basically representative of the species) the other creature is. I solved that problem by replacing the single "vision point" with a "vision line", which gives the creature the colour of the next object (stone or creature) that is in that line. Also I would add a sigmoid function proportional to the distance that this object is to the creature, so that the further away it is, the "blurrier" the "picture" gets for the creature and the less certain the colour is. I would actually want 3 of these vision lines, to create something like a field of view For the ground sensing, I would just add one indicator that ONLY senses the colour of the ground, and also 3 others whose distance the creature can vary, which work just like the vision points that are already in place. BTW I also wrote a lot more (I think very good) ideas in the comment I wrote 1 hour ago, but I don't want to copy n paste everything here

You should somehow fuse evolvio with evolution simulator to run generation walking simulations that determine how fast they actually move :D

You should add a specialization trait to the guys. So they could specialize in hunting down other guys making that more energy efficient but they have a increased cost to eat grass. Then you would end up with predator and producer species instead of one homogeneous species that acts one way.

"You can't look in the center of your head because it's solid." -cqrykh, 2017

How about you add a rule that creatures always have to spend energy to get their body temperature to 1deg? This way in winter they will probably move less and use the fat they saved from summer to survive. Without that rule they will just kinda run in constant circles which is boring. BTW since accelerating also causes them to lose energy by unwantedly increasing their body temperature, that could also mean they move MORE in winter but that's just speculation And here's the even more fun part: In real life, every warm object emmits heat radiation, so how about you also add that, so that if another creature is close to another one (like 50% of lost heat/radius^2), both are able to survive much more easily, which will likely cause tribes to rise up. Thinking about tribes (and after reading The Selfish Gene) I figured it would be absolutely necessary to give the creatures some sense of how closely related another creature is related to them. As far as I know, this can be done by measuring the difference in the skin colour between a different creature and its own one. And here's how I want to do that: You give the creature not one "vision point" (you also don't just "see" what is at one single point one meter below and two meters ahead of you, you see what's closest in front of you) with a certain radius which they can see, but an entire line, so that their input gives them the colour of the closest object in that direction. To give them the opportunity for some kind of field of vew, you couls give them not one such line, but 3 of them, and mutations control how those are arranged. These three lines would be a normal input, BUT the further the closest object is away, the less certain the input is (sigmoid function). Of course the creatures would also have to know how far away the object in this vision line is, so that should be another input. Of course it would be incredibly confusing to have like 1500 lines of vision on the map, so you could maybe make it so that these lines blurr away after a few meters or even less. Those 3 lines were for stones and other creatues, but of course they als need vision of the ground, so I think they should get one input of the ground directly below them (they're gonna want that anyway) and another 3 that they can place as single points - of the kind that you have the vision input right now- so they can also see the ground. Also if the creatures can see who'se related how closely, you might even see some "altruism" (The Selfish Gene explains that perfectly, but for that to happen it definetly needs to see whose related) Another feature I would really like to see is communication. How about you let creatures emmit signals - which are simply one or two nodes that every other creature inside a certain radius gets as an input in its own brain; one frame delay of course. This signal is simply a number - which can be taken directly from another node or as a combination of different nodes. This communication could for example enable group "hunting" (I so wanna see that) or much more efficient "farming" , because creatures can indicate how much food is left where they have just been. Also you could make it so that the temperature changes slower the closer the tile is to water (just as in real life) And I'm not sure if this is already in place, but do "heavy" creatures move slower (through both more friction and more energy going into acceleration) than light creatures? BTW, did you give the creatures a sensor input of when they are being attacked? That would be extremely important All these features that I mentioned here would probably be able to lead to very complex behaviours, but I am worried that it might not be able to happen, when the neural network mostly only consists of the input nodes. How about you add some more in between? I mean otherwise the creatures' behaviour will never get more complex than single circles going after food and in case it finds a creature of another race it kills that or something. But not much more than that, only with additional neurons tribes could possibly evolve, I think I guess that just was enough ideas for an entire weeks of programming :D

Awesome vid, can't wait for the next one. For the rocks, you could have them be more difficult to move in water for the creatures, as well as drift to the nearest land (or rather white land, to avoid build up on coast) (speed of drift determined by size of rock). Perhaps also, give them a sink time value, for sinking as you mentioned (which could also influence drift speed), so that when in water, sink_time += size/some_const (sinks faster when larger), and if sink_time > size then destroy the rock (visible size = size - sink_time). Along with this, you could randomly generate rocks on land (you may want to restrict the amount of rocks that exist). I wonder if ever rocks would be used by creatures tactically for some purpose, that would be cool.

My theory for the flashing colours to indicate birth: The creatures had evolved to form an axon between the Colo(u)r input nodes and the birth output nodes. So, they have to modify the colour value in order to get their preferred birth value and then flash in order to stabilise it. Colour(52) -----> Birth(-345) Cycle goes to Colour(61) -----> Birth(122) Flash to stabilise and find 1

Thanks for being so sure about our heads being solid :D

Have you considered adding different weather conditions and/or temperature regions? Like cold in upper+lower edges of map and warm in the middle?

Being able to see where you are is a pretty big advantage. Maybe if you made one "vision source" that was always directly under a creature and one that could move, they would develop external senses more. (And even a blind creature knows if it's walking on grass, rocks, or water.)

Excuse me, but is there a way to download the vomit bug version? I want to download that and wait for the bug to happen then after that happens I'll just download the current version...

It would make sense for the creatures to have a constant which allows them to see at least one block around/in front of it.

Hello! I love your simulator! it has so much potential! One thing you could add is a long view and a short view. we humans don't see only our feet nor only 100 meters away. this will help the creatures avoid oceans and more actively seek food.

"You can't look in the center of your head, because... It's solid" lol :)

Give them two eyes, so they dedicate one to look below them, and another they can use to look in front of them.

Is there fate stay/night (visual novel) music in the background? It sounds very similar

I don’t really understand this completely but it’s pretty cool

Is the source for this available? I wrote some java plotting classes that will autoscale. They would work well for the population graph.

Cary, you should add a second "eye". They will probably use one eye to see underneath them and the second eye to see the world around them.

That's incredible! They've developed a 'mating habit' in the form of flashing. I've never seen anything like that.
