A genetic algorithm! I love GAs but I suck at using them!

Did you make this?

Seems like they're mostly going to look like these.

Or maybe not.

About three or four hours.

Some 5 hours I think.

Driblis has started this application at 6:45 AM.

I will let it run till I come home.

It's a rather dumb algorithm by all appearances though.

>>1410
Actually, scratch that, starting at 7:30 because I am retarded and closed the window.

5 Hours

What's weird is the simulation won't let the vehicle go as far as it can go, almost like there's a time limit.

A tad disappointing. Perhaps it's broke?

Doesn't this type of stuff prove that evolution works?

Maybe it chooses the next generation based on distance traveled in a certain time besides survival.

Also, after 10+ hours.

It's almost always a bad idea to try and prove things with computer models running simulations.

I had a bookmark that explained really well why that is, but I can't find it right now, so here's a something I found in google that seems to hit on similar areas. I have no idea about the rest of the site: http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/hutchison/070711

Basically, you can make a computer do any damn thing you want. Kind of like when you want to prove a theory, and go look for evidence that supports it. It's just bad science.

Driblistown,
7:30 to about 6:45 now, so 11:15 hours.

Pretty dull to be honest.

Yes, it has a pretty low time limit. Annoying.

12:30 - 19:00, so ~6.5 hours.

There is. It's measured by how far they go in X time.

Essentially... I mean look at Dwarf Fortress, that's a fantasy world simulator being created by a single Mathematics Doctorate (almost everything in the code is of his making) with a defined goal, full time.

He still questions if it will ever be a complete simulation when he gets Dwarves planting beds or killer masses of groundhogs flensing people with their sharp eyes (literally sharp eyes, he made a slight mistake in restricting attacking parts and their whole face was designated an attack site.)

Simulation ended at 9:34.

Boring times.

Mine's still going. I think I'm at something like 12 hours, and it's wonderfully boring.

I guess I'll leave it on overnight just to see of something interesting happens, but I doubt it will.

With 2 red circles and 2 blue circles it will always end up with a more or less triangular form with both red balls together and as low as possible without hitting the ground on bounces.

If it had 3 blue balls it might end up with more interesting shapes (like say a triangle that spins around and keeps going).

30 hours of this running. It stopped using any shape other than this one a long time ago.

Boring.

54 hours and it still has not finished. Fuck it.

It wound up with various variations of this.

>>1549
Uh, it's never going to "finish". It'll just keep refining the design, approaching some kind of local optimum.

Running continuously since this thread was first posted.

What is this, I don't even. Pretty cool though.

shit keeps falling down through the track, faster with each generation.

how did you divide by zero?
