Evolving a Human! - Evolution Simulator

Welcome to Evolution! Evolution is a free to play evolution game where you use a neural network to program a skeleton using muscles, bones, and joints!
- - - - -
Evolution Simulator Gameplay Overview:
Use joints, bones and muscles to build creatures that are only limited by your imagination. Watch how the combination of a neural network and a genetic algorithm can enable your creatures to "learn" and improve at their given tasks all on their own.
The tasks include running, jumping and climbing. Can you build the ultimate creature that is good at all of the tasks?

I tried building my own humanoid. I found that by widening the stance (placing the legs and feet further apart), it was more likely to stay upright and try to get along by scooting. Around generation 25, it seemed like they were actually going to start walking upright, until one got the bright idea to curl itself up into a ball and just roll. Apparently rolling is much more efficient than walking. I have witnessed the next step in human evolution!

I think the main issue is that this game doesn't recognize "crossing", like the way real legs work. So they instead try to "shuffle" their way across the screen. If this game were more 3D, the tactic you're trying to use might work

[@mrhenderson9477]

This game in 3d would be crazy complex. That would be cool.

[@SamuelDurkin]

I've just been messing with this myself, and now have a functioning human. Feet, knee joints (that you shrink, as large knees weigh the guy down), and a fixed pelvis, seem the most important bits. With a diamond shaped knee you can attach muscle to both sides of the leg, similarly a diamond pelvis allows this too.. a foot with a toe is vital to get a spring in the step.

11:13 usually more muscles means less stability, something the the learning thing you can edit i think sets rules per creation to help them learn better.

[@shikibob-6999]

You should try to incorporate a elbow so if it falls over it can crawl

[@SemiMono]

Multiply their score by the average height of their head node. Boom, now they will stand up, and maybe start to walk. They gained so much score by simply falling over that they would have to learn how to walk quite well before they could compete with the ones that just fall. One of the most important things about machine learning is tuning your fitness calculation. Do you want it to move? You maybe had the right criteria. Do you want it to stand? Just use the average height. Do you want it to walk? Combine the previous two criteria.

[@adventurecraftian]

[@bernatvillalbablanch9912]

You can use the final creature as the pelvis, then you add strong legs, with a lot of bones to not bound and an upper body part with springlike arms to stand up again after falling. You should get a pretty good human.

[@mollyplann8374]

MORE CAT GOES FISHING PLEASE I LOVED IT SOOOO MUCH

[@DerMarkus1982]

The problem with "Running" mode is that the creature is given some initial momentum to the "east" upon spawning. This makes most of them fall over if the "right" foot is not perfectly placed. And upon falling, the "brain" learns" about the involved muscles bending and "believes" this to be perfectly normal.

[@JellyAntz]

The last design is how some people who have no legs in real life move and they can use skateboards too

[@NLTops]

XD all the comments are funny. The main problem isn't that he's drawing the human facing the screen. Human beings are capable of walking sideways, even if it's not our most efficient direction of locomotion. The main problem is that this game is far from complex enough to allow for actual organic locomotion. Mainly because it only has 1 type of joint, with a very wide range of rotation. This sets the range of motion between parts at too high a limit. The human body consists of 206-300 bones (certain bones fuse as an individual grows older) and aproximately 640 skeletal muscles. The muscles are actually a controversial topic because it all depends on how you group these bundles of muscular tissue. This game is a very good example of how machine learning depends completely on the framework in which it is built. This machine learning algorithm is great at gradually optimising the forward locomotion of a static(non-changing, not non-moving) structure in a static environment (a flat plane). It controls a walking sequence of the structure by setting values to the tension of the muscles and sequencing when and how strong they activate.. But it doesn't know anything about creating the structure itself. It doesn't optimise anything that it isn't designed to optimise. Deep learning is so cool.

Humans have two sets of muscles in each limb with opposing actions - one set that flexes the limb at various joints and another that extends it. Not to mention, we also have restricted joint mobility in each joint, unless these creatures.

The knees were the problem. They were just constantly buckling and they provided no support or strength. If you had gotten rid of the knees, the legs would’ve had much more structural integrity and the human would’ve been able to remain upright for much longer.

Your mistake is that you drew your human the wrong way. We're optimized for walking forward, so you'd have to draw him facing the direction he's going.

[@sanketpatel8430]

You could add bones of ribs. Without that, the upper body is falling down. So, it has to crawl.

[@akumashift]

Adding onto what everyone else is saying, we evolved from quadrupeds, being bipedal is a secondary evolution. So standing up would provide no survival advantage in this situation.

[@akumashift]

Being bipedal’s main advantage was giving use to our hands. Which once again provides no survival advantage in this situation. Since there’s only one factor here to survival, travel distance, bipedal organisms don’t stand a chance.
