1-hour Evolution of an AI ecosystem v0.1

This is a side-project that I've been working on for nearly 4 years now (on and off). The simulation runs on Unity.
The creatures (called bibites) initially spawn with an empty brain and a basic genetic code, but have a random chance of getting mutations, that will change their traits and/or behaviors, that they can then pass to their offspring.
Those mutations can range from a slight change in size to new connections being added to their brain (thus changing their behavior).
The more they eat, the more eggs they can lay, propagating their genes.
Their brains are inspired by the rtNEAT method, so, except from their senses (input neurons) and their possible actions (output neurons), every component of their brain are evolved (like developing a connection between seeing food and going forward) and selected through natural selection.
I have bigger plans for this project now that that I'm done with my studies and I have a little more free time. I will upload a video to explain it further if there is enough positive feedback and/or interest.
=================================
The Bibites is an Artificial Life (Living AI!) simulation where I recreate some biological processes and let the lifeforms live, eat, reproduce, and mutate, leading to active evolution.
Their can evolve their body through a genetic algorithm and their behavior through a custom neural network algorithm.

I've been programming something pretty similar. I'm not done yet though, I only started a couple of days ago. In my simulation, they will kill "cannibalize" each other. Every time one organism eats another, it makes a copy of itself with a mutation. The only thing that differs between my organisms is their brain. They will kill each other with a "sword". I hope that eventually I will get fighting and evasion behaviour. The nice part will be that the number of organisms stays constant because every time one is killed, a new one is produced. The ones that survive will be the best at killing and avoiding getting killed.

I would love to see something like this done with a more complex environment. So set up things like heat, chemical requirements and light and let the critters evolve in an environment in which they could be static like plants, herbivorous or carnivorous. Those little appendages look like they are used in propelling them forward but I think in this video they are non-functional. Maybe give them the ability to move based on physical, evolved characteristics which can morph into other things over time. I have to admit I can't code for toffee but I wrote a short-story called Vemes about e-critters which replicated and evolved very quickly on the internet. It would be really interesting to see whether it's possible.

I looked at physical-based locomotion in another project, and part evolution, etc. But I also wanted "life-like" genetic code (binary) and it got very complex very fast ahah.

Evolution works in mysterious ways 🤷 But that "feature" has been removed in the most recent version, sorry 😢

[@RogerKeulen]

Cool will try this ! Going to start with 3 types of creatures 2d with color (Red, Green and Blue). Thus R or G or B is always 100% the other color component is random and always less then 70%. Green = Can turn sun light into small amount of energy and eats all dead creatures or eggs. Can sit still or move fast, but does not store mutch energy. Blue = Can eat green as food (dead or alive) and them selfs when they are little. Can not sit still and always loses energy and thus needs to eat. Red = Can only eat the blue ones. They are big and slow but store a lot of energy. Thus can go without food a mutch longer period then blue. Spawn = When less then 4 of creatures of a color then spawn at a random location a egg with RNA made of the creatures left in the simulation and a lot of random mutations.

[@catklyst]

I would like to see some evolve to eat each other. It would likely produce more diverse behaviours in your species. Additionally, your food spawning algorithm could be made to evolve to make it harder for the critters to get at it.

[@AlabasterXnight]

I have an idea about the predation and "Nothing is lost, nothing is wasted, everything is merely tansformed." What if the interaction of these items where happening on a transparent layer with a grey layer underneath and as the Bibites use energy a brown translucent gradient relative to the total of a plant pellet is left where the BiBite has been when using that energy, these gradients would collect cumulatively and when they reach full opacity due to equaling a full plant pellet a small pentagon of tiny plants appear and then after a moment if they haven't been eaten blast out in a mutable radius(by the plants genes) and if they land on either opaque or translucent brown it absorbs that to mature, making Plant pellet buds which it shoots off if it can absorb more than a single pellets worth of wealth. When BiBites die from starvation or being attacked they become a bundle of meat pellets, if those meat pellets don't get eaten after a bit they turn into opaque brown regions which then bud tiny plant pellet pentagons which explode if they done get eaten, just like accumulated waste. Plant using the opaque and translucent brown would of cause reduce it back to clear when fully used. Is this a helpful idea?

[@TheBibitesDigitalLife]

Yes it's interesting :o might use that for the evolving plants

The main one I think of is reproduction, which is unregulated (can be asexual, or sexual, and is controlled by the agent). There is also no fitness function, as fitness is determined contextually and dinamically, as you need energy to run the network, and also energy to reproduce. As energy is limited in the environment agents are competing against eachother for the ressources, the fitness is therefore determined by the agents compared to its environment
