The evolution of digital trees. Artificial life. Part 4. Short-lived

Evolution simulation in a fictional world.
Just for fun.
This video talks about plants with a short lifecycle.
Some plants apply the "right" method by using a special command, and some find other ways.
I show simulation fragments, providing my comments and genome analysis.

you should add a stem/trunk type that requires no sun but can store a smaller amount of sun this should be formed either by the age of the 'leaf' type or by a new spawn condition like [if no sun for 'x' change to 'trunk'] you may also have an addition like the amount of trunk cells can influence the lifespan of the tree allowing it to grow bigger but not necessarily better as it may be harder to spread seeds i think this could promote more uniform trees to grow and make the ecosystem more diverse. love the content and look forward to seeing how you develop this in the future!

actually pretty interesting

[@b10ckh0usesurv10rs]

A new episode! YESSSSSS

[@thegraz]

Great stuff! It would be interesting to see you let the trees grow and mutate over many generations in isolation, then have them meet. Similar to your clans video

[@wallcraft-video]

Usually all simulations either die or come to some stable state. Perhaps evolution with the complication of organisms is slowing down and I turn off the simulation. This goes for all the simulations I've done

[@JDoawp]

"This is PROBABLY the way they do it in genetics!" lmao love the uncertainty and no looking up if its true or not.

[@zeektm1762]

Channel W, thank you for the content. I would love to see this type of content continue, especially with different types of evolution (perhaps moving creatures, although that is more complicated to program, or even slime molds). It would be interesting to see if you can create regional effects so that the simulation can have microbiomes which adapt to changing circumstances.

I was thinking today about how your simulations would react to a mechanism that worked like a seed disperser. Seems that evolution was one step ahead, as usual, with the leapers.

[@_Dearex_]

Very cool again! How can I get started to make some evolution simulations myself?

[@infiniteplanes5775]

That’s a very broad question. Evolution simulators come in many different forms. If you have a particular idea in mind I could provide some more information. A general tip is that it should follow the three forces of natural selection. A form of competition to determine who should reproduce, a form of inheritance so children are similar to their parent(s), and a form of mutation so new genes can be introduced

[@erikragrin3336]

The largest two things to tackle, without breaking it down further, are: - The actual physics/behavior of the simulation - The actual AI/evolution (outside of simulation) that reads/controls decisions. The ability for the two to coincide/make the final product is usually a lot easier. With the example of the video: - The first part would be knowing how to make an environment where you could simulate tree/plant growth, but using user input instead of AI. To learn how to do this, it would take learning how to develop games and/or basic simulations in the language of your choice. It depends a large amount on what is being simulated. - The second part would be learning how to create the evolving neural networks or genomes that would control/affect a simulation. Python is likely the undisputed best for this. Although it may seem counterproductive, you can implement the second part into a simulation with only a small understanding of how it works. Like the previous reply said, it is a very broad question, but if you can split it into these two, you can at least narrow it down.

[@bootmii98]

How do you distinguish the command 3 from "switch to gene 3" in the actual genome? What causes a red or gray 3 to appear?

[@scrambo6182]

"This is probably how they do it in genetics" it pretty much is, but we seldom look at the WHOLE genome. Usually we use 'highly conserved' regions of the genome, ie parts without which the organism would not be able to survive, so they will all have it in one way or another. This is usually a ribosomal RNA, usually the 16s rRNA.

[@b10ckh0usesurv10rs]

When do we get another one of thebattle of the clans type vids? That one was good and simulating it in a diff way would be cool to watch

[@wallcraft-video]

The battle of Clans is the development of this project. It works on the same principles. While I'm busy with other projects, maybe later I will return to the battle of clans

[@b10ckh0usesurv10rs]

Ok

[@tombertube7565]

It would be cool to have some mechanic where seeds more commonly reach the ground and not just die hitting a growing plant. That way we maybe would see trees and grass in harmony. Maby this could happen due to seasons?

[@revimfadli4666]

[@SkyboxMonster]

I see an error. shorter trees have lower branch ends. the seeds land first and sprout first. you need to add a germination time to eliminate the "Fall first" advantage that short trees have over tall ones. all seeds should germinate at the same time or on sunrise.

[@Illogical.]

I was not really satisfied with your way of simulating plants in your earlier videos, but it's your project, and for that and other reasons, I can not demand that you do it in a different way. That inpired me to plan out my own plant evolution simulation. I will not watch this video yet, because I don't want to risk it influencing my project, or even worse, by causing burnout by overwhelming me with too many ideas.

[@erikragrin3336]

What is the song/music at the start of the video?

[@wallcraft-video]

These are my attempts to create music :)

[@titoeduarrrdo3719]

would be interesting to have both upwards competition with solar energy and downward competition with water/moisture in the ground but requires more energy to offshoot downwards. You could add more conditions over time, like the capable height of a tree depends on the depth (like how tall trees fall if they don't have deep roots).

[@claytonwilde5750]

That’s how geneticists track human relationships but we can’t do that for most species because we haven’t mapped out their genomes yet, plus we won’t be able to map out the genomes of most extinct species because we have no access to their dna

[@codingidiot6754]

[@wallcraft-video]

In this simulation, the age is given randomly from a range of 88 to 92. I have a simulation with ever-living organisms that die only from lack of energy. But there is a problem with development. Frequent generational change speeds up evolution
