looks like it's a mutation algorithm, following an evolutionary theory.
in reality it' a loop.

so if i leave this running for like a week, it won't get any better?

I don't believe so.
unless we reverse it to see the code, we can't be sure of what's going on.
but 9k would suggest it's too simple to be anything truly complex, it'll be trying random
variations, but even when it works properly, it resets...
so idk.

IT's a genetic algorithm. Try leaving it on for a week.

If i remember the correctly, they guy made this script to make the best vehicle fastest possible.
As you can see, after a while it learns that the wheels should be at the bottom and where the
center of gravity is best positioned. It picks the best vehicle out of 20 and tries variations
with that. At some point after a few hours it more or less reaches perfection because of the time
limit. If the time limit wasn't there, it would probably evolve a little further, but it would
take a lot longer.

You can control it a bit with your arrow keys

you can zoom in and out using your scroll wheel at least

neat

green line = average of all runs (or of each set of 20)?
black line = best run so far?
seems like it never gets past that one very steep hill (you know the one)

Someone posted this on /f/ a while ago, just for us.
it IS a genetic algorithm. It attempts to get to the end without flipping or letting the red
spheres touch the ground. At the start it tries 20 random creations, then it picks the
fastest/farthest one and modifies that slightly a bunch of times, etc, etc.
It's fun to watch.

You really can move it a bit while it is in the air, so stfu.

Blue circles are (obviously) the wheels, while the red circles are, what I think, the balance.

Truth.

Arrows control the balance a bit
i.e. the one slope that none of the things can EVER get past on their own, CAN make it past it if
you hold the left arrow a bit before it drops down, but then it seems to jut restart on its own,
without any of the red spheres touching the ground

actually pretty cool
