vivarium73 is an evolution simulation where neural-network-controlled creatures move around searching for food, avoid obstacles, and evolve over time.

  • creatures detect food and obstacles in their surroundings
  • [NEW] when a creatures collides with another creature, obstacle or wall, it looses energy
  • they gain energy by eating and lose it by moving and hitting obstacles
  • when a creature reaches full energy, it creates an offspring with a chance of mutation
  • if a creature runs out of energy, it dies
  • when all creatures are gone, the simulation restarts by reviving the best-performing ones
  • over time, mutations can lead to more effective survival strategies
  • [NEW] click on any empty spot to place extra food
