Species Evolution

Overview

Proof of concept for learning Neural networks and genetics algorithms developed in 2012. Simulates an environment of species that must survive and create a kind of “society mind” on a 2D world.

The neural network and genetics algorithm code is based on the amazing docs created by Mat Buckland.

Details

Fully customizable using external XMLs.
Supports OpenMP for a very fast evolution on multi-core computers.
Evolution can be shown on the screen (slow but nice to see) or can be done on background (very fast but no visual output is provided).
On screen evolution stats.
You can easily add new species, by default there is only one (fully customizable) named Minzoo.
Available for Linux (x86), MacOS X (10.4 to 10.14) and Windows (95 to 10 x86).
Makefile for Linux and MacOS X are not available.
Developed in C++ using CRM32Pro.
