Critter

This is a continuing experiment in applying genetic algorithms to neural simulations.  Here is a video outlining the experiment.  Many of you probably found this site from this presentation.

I will be adding more information and discussion over time.  I am working on a set of instructions as the interface is not clear or well designed.  Please be patient as this is a work in progress.

For now, here are links to:

Application Source Code

Release Notes (including CRASH notes)

Episode 2: The Next Generation

Next version has been released:

 

This one is more animated as the creatures can now swim.  Updated source code coming.

Episode 3: A Better Guppie

This one can run an obstacle course better.

Episode 4: Pattern Recognition And Memory

This was inspired by a PhD student running a similar experiment using spiking neural networks.
