After one more year of intensive work and numerous test runs, a new major update for github.com/chrxh/alien is finally polished and ready. It offers possibilities I had only dreamed of before. 🪐 YouTube: youtu.be/dSkxvi9igqQ #ArtificialLife #generativeart #Cuda

I have continued running my simulation from yesterday and the world looks even more vibrant. The creatures have evolved more aggressive hunting behaviors and developed more muscle cells, making them faster. To make things more challenging, there are death zones, barriers, and

Here is another simulation run (~ 2 days). The blue creatures here are equipped with sensors not only for the fruits, but also for their peers. They now seem to act in a more coordinated way.

... 2 days later, without much having happened, new type of organisms suddenly appear everywhere. Most of them are kind of asleep and others act extremely fast and attack their opponents with full broadside. I don't know exactly how they function. Everything on these organisms

A modification of my last simulation developed interesting behaviors after two days. Things are heating up there. Some creatures have learned to recognize barriers and keep their distance to avoid the death zones - a behavior I had anticipated and hoped evolution would produce.

Day 5 of my evolution simulation: I've doubled the size of the simulated world and the number of particles, so it's now running a bit slower. There seem to have been no more mass extinctions since yesterday. Some of the creatures have developed even more extremities and are more

The next plot twist: The once highly aggressive beasts have split into different lineages and have become noticeably more passive. Most now resemble plant-like creatures, forming an endless forest of biomass that sustains an entire ecosystem around them. The spiky creatures

Day 4 of my latest non-stop evolution simulation: Crab-like creatures have evolved and are roaming all over the simulation. Otherwise, the funny critters with spiral horns can still be found in a related form. Here is a spatial and temporal close-up. I will probably scale up the

I'm in the process of setting up a new evolution simulation using the insights from the last long run. The initial creatures will be placed in a challenging environment where survival requires behaviors with non-trivial sensory inputs. github.com/chrxh/alien has already been

Some visual impressions to the next major upgrade of ALIEN (under development): Genetic editor, NN-controlled agents and a simplified messaging and energy transportation system between the cells will be coming ...and many other exciting things too! #ArtificialLife #generativeart

.. running the simulation with the latest setting a bit longer and new mutants have emerged. Maybe it's deceiving me, but somehow the entire scenery looks more and more like alien life forms ...
