I know it's an algorithm and all, but HOLY FUCK SPIKES DON'T HELP. Spikes didn't improve the
design the last hundred iterations, maybe you should stop putting huge fucking spikes between the
wheels? No? More spikes you say? FUCK.

evolution process in-game makes it that cars that reach the score mark are a priority design when
making new cars.

Once you've obtained a fit 'genotype', jacking up the mutation rates has the same effect as
nearly eliminating it, maybe worse.
Once you break 200, wait a generation and jack it up to 100%. Watch your line graph plummet.
Overzealous mutation of an 'allele' is regressive. There's probably a normal distribution for
ideal mutation rate, with the perfect value approaching infinity.
I like this; it's neat

In the beginning I jacked up the mutation rate, then set it back to 10% after I get some sleek
motorcycle / batpod style vehicles going. So yes the vehicles get better, I think key is the toy
with the mutation rate right. I'm stuck around 200 now tho.

Loads of fun. Suggestions:
- Instead of having the program try to figure out when the car has stopped moving, instead add an
"advancing wall of death" that starts off a bit behind the car and ends the simulation if it
touches it. Simpler to program, more fun to watch, and doesn't end the lives of promising cars
just because they bumped into a wall and stopped momentarily.

- Genetic evolution isn't just about survival, it's also about doing it while looking sexy enough
to reproduce. Model this by adding a bonus counter that begins counting up whenever one of the
car's wheels leave the ground (triple speed counting whenever both wheels leave the ground). If
the same wheel(s) that started the bonus counter touch the ground before any other part of the
car, the bonus is added to the distance score; any other part of the car touching ground first
resets the counter to zero. Basically, the car not only has to take off to look nice, but it also
has to stick the landing, otherwise it gets an epic fail.

i find keeping the mutation rate at 0% for the first few gens then going up to 5% minimises

You won't believe it, some random mutation got to the bump near the 70 mark and made a whole
fucking flip in the air before landing on its wheels and continuing normally.
The game definitely needs to have bonuses for stunts like that.

I fucking hate this: I get one design that clears 200+, then it's like "nope, we're not doing
