Scriptbots: Evolutionary Artificial Life Simulation of Predator-Prey dynamics
This guy, Andrej Karpathy (http://karpathy.ca/) made an enormous job an built an open source artificial life simulation, which is very successful and focused correct variables among the other similar projects.
- libria 15y agoThe clip showing hunting pack behavior, http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=RjweUYtpNq4&t=3m17s http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=RjweUYtpNq4&t=3m17s, really makes them come alive, almost like they'll run off the page. Chilling. Reminds me of George Martin's "Sandkings" (don't go to Wikipedia, read the full story).
- jeffool 15y agoVery neat; reminds me of http://swimbots.com http://swimbots.com, which focuses more on locomotion and the evolution of locomotion. But still, nice.
- bekirdag 15y agoSince this is open source, i think this could be a good start to build a way more complex artificial world, like three dimensions, similar earth conditions (temperature, wind, terrain specifications etc.) I think the main point to build such an artificial world is to give a start of the life of a creature, which surprises it's own creators with it's behaviors.
