The evolution of digital trees. Artificial life. Part 2.

[@CandyFlossWizard1928]

I love how you took the time to give the trees a name

[@sargentgullible2794]

It's interesting to see that somehow, even digital trees know the concept of convergent evolution.

[@ScorpionXXXVII]

The don't "know", they were programmed to act that way. The sun is up, energy is needed to grow, successful growth raises the chances that it will reproduce. With These rules convergent evolution is inevitable.

[@martinaguilar5646]

I love this, its a bit uncanny how, even in 2D, the tree shapes are similar to real life trees

It's called ✨evolution✨

[@NatLJ]

I love the scientific names. I could imagine them actually being real plants.

[@madeleine3436]

I could watch these simulations for hours, the way things evolve is so interesting

[@davidaugustofc2574]

I usually love evolution simulations, but dear god these names. And it seems y´all took time to name every single one of them a funny thing, made the experience much better imo.

[@hobbiefox-pastrycat4568]

Could be fun to add a mutation that flips the left and right numbers in all genes, so the tree is mirrored. Make it decently common, too. Like, 20%

[@EtienneGracque]

Amazing simulation! Another change you could make, to ressemble real life even more, is to bring the seed to the ground in a single frame, when a tree dies. The time it takes to a tree to grow and to the time it takes to drop a seed are the same in your simulation. Another idea: what about the ability to have gliding seeds that don't fall straight down?

[@solflake]

The fact that we can observe convergent evolution in these simulations is quite fascinating

[@noyza2132]

very cool project! would love to see how it progresses

[@BrianBolhofner]

I would love to see an addition to the energy collection mechanism that simulates the sun moving from the left side of the world to the right in a loop, similar to the way the trees circle back from one side of the screen to the other.

[@wojciechmazurek947]

I think it would just increase randomness, but something similiar would be feasable - the sun could pulsate uniformly over the whole screen, forcing the plants to accumulate the energy for the night.

[@BrianBolhofner]

@@wojciechmazurek947 oh, I was thinking my suggestion would result in trees that grow straight up. Do you think a pulsating sun would have a similar effect?

[@BrianBolhofner]

Thinking about it a little more, perhaps having a point source of sunlight energy might result in straight trees.

[@justjerm1823]

Need more simulations, this is great 😮

[@ravelsouzax1584]

Amazing evolution!

[@zootoon1gaming959]

These trees are actually smart in evolution.

[@Nugcon]

love this series!

[@CrushedAsian255]

Great project! Surprised you have so little subs! You have the quality of a channel with over 100K subs

[@austinnoliphant]

Another really great videos. I'm curious if this is how real life trees evolved though your changes at point probably didn't happen.

[@primetime3422]

A hidden gem

[@chrwi5848]

More please!

[@Qualicabyss]

I feel like a different way for trees to die could have interesting results, like disease or fire and add genes to protect from those as well as determine seed lifespan, finish it up with the ability to drop seeds when still alive and maybe a drifting/wind mechanic and some cool stuff could appear

[@gregnow9921]

you have very good videos about neural networks translate them. It was from there a few years ago that I implemented all the code in java, python, and so on. Thanks

[@hikikomori9544]

Translucency might help sprouts to be protected under a mother tree. It might also get multiple species to evolve this way.

[@orion9590]

Where can I get the code to run it? :O

[@j.j.maverick9252]

what voice system are you using? The pronunciation and emphasis is good (although the timing/cadence is sometimes dubious)

[@Warwipf]

Cool stuff, thank you :)

[@WwarpfirewW]

I actually cant tell if its your real voice or an AI reader

[@Heizemann]

I want this with a bigger area and day night cycles. Where the sunlight wanders around the map.

[@squishybrick]

5:32 I would've called it "Digitus Bladus" since the seeds/buds make it look like a knife's edge.

[@diraska]

each plant drops many seeds, but generally only one can sprout fully. Is there any data on which seed locations is more successful? what is the avg seed per plant for good success rates? etc etc etc

[@rudigerf.1111]

cool

[@kilgoretrout6810]

Mr Miyagi would be so proud

[@oberguga]

Looks like video from техношаман kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKeag2SAYtaYZ8U Is this a standard model, that you both implemented or this is rip-off? It is fine either case, but if the second is true credits to the author would be appropriate.

[@LazySpaceRaptor]

They start off looking like grasses

[@danishdebater5805]

I may have missed this. But what did the study show about pedigree vs substitution rate? If it did not show anything, did it make any conclusions that could be used to infer a corrolation?

[@blakebezner6930]

Is it possible to run this simulation myself?

both channels are hosted by the same person :)

Now i gotta wonder if the voice is from an ai, does seem artificial, including the breathing sounds too calculated so to speak

did i just watch a 20 minute video on a complicated thing that i'll never understand? . . . yes.
