Getting Started

This is a simple evolution simulator. It is a work in progress, and is not yet complete. It is written in Javascript, and uses the p5.js library.
Demo: https://evolution-sim.netlify.com/

Installation

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/Volthai7us/Evolution-Simulator/

2. Move to project folder

   cd Evoluation-Simulator

How it works

• General

  • Click play to start the simulation.
  • Click pause to pause the simulation.
  • Click next to run the simulation for one generation.
  • Click reset to reset the simulation.

• Default Settings

  • The simulation starts with a population of 1000 creatures.
  • Each creature has a brain, which is a neural network.
  • The brain has 6 inputs, and 5 outputs. (These can be changed in the code)
  • The inputs are the location of the creature, left block, right block, top block, and bottom block.
  • The outputs are the direction the creature should move, left, right, up, down, or die.
  • The brain is initialized with random weights and biases.

• Canvas

  • The canvas splits 3 parts.
  • The top right part is the simulation.
  • The top left part is the creature's brain.
  • The bottom part is the chart of the population over time.
  • The orange area in chart is how many creatures are died in the generation.
  • The blue area in chart is how many creatures produced a child.
  • The gray area in chart is how many creatures did not produce a child.

• Extra Controls

  • Click a creature to see its brain.
  • Select fitness function from the dropdown menu.
  • Click the "Add Wall" button to add a wall to the simulation.
  • The "Safe Zone" slider controls the size of the safe zone.
  • The "Brain Size" slider controls the size of the brain.
  • The "Gene Number" slider controls the number of genes.
  • The "Threshold" slider controls the decision threshold.
