genetic algorithm fish

evolution of fish. each fish is a neural net.
The purpose of this application is to develop a "killer fish" - a fish that eats maximum pieces of food in a constant time period.

The world is populated by 20 fish and 40 pieces of food.

every time a generation begins. the food is scatted in a random distribution on a certain random location on the screen. (random piles of food).
When being eaten, the food shows up in a new random pile in the screen.

Every fish has a brain - Neural Net. It has 2 inputs:
the direction and velocity of the fish. (himself).
the relative location of the closest food.
and two outputs:
velocity of right wheel.
velocity of left wheel.
You can refer to the movement as a tank with two chains, and the output as the velocity of each chain.

the target is to find weights for the neural net that will give the fish a "killer-brain"...

When running the application you will see the generations go by. In each generation we select the best fish in generation and breed them to form new 20 fish.

the brains (Neural Nets) of the initial 20 fish are created randomly. This explains why they are so "stupid".

look how they improve as time goes by. their logic is being build by evolution, without interference.

 Thought I'd post a screen capture from a driving game I've been working on...

Yes it's still very rough round the edges, I put this together in the demo version time of Unity (Game Development Tool) to test what is possible - probably have to put it on hold now for a while as my demo is about to expire (but going to save up for the pro version then start this game for real from scratch).

I'm completely new to game development, but a quick learner, my experience in 3d/texturing/scripting, etc comes from SecondLife (Virtual World) and off the back of a cornflakes packet.... but had a lot of fun putting this together.

With the exception of the last crash clip, this was all captured in rea...

 As man moves to colonize the cosmos, the realities of sexual relationships and reproduction need to be addressed. Probe the physiological, psychological and cultural challenges of sex in space. From the sex act through birth, look at how the extreme environments of space exploration might effect copulation, conception and developing human tissues, as well as how issues around sex might impact the emotional lives of astronauts. Get to the bottom of the rumors to find out if space sex has already happened, and look at how the burgeoning space tourism business may soon lead to a boom in space sex

Crowdsourcing is the act of taking a job traditionally performed by a designated agent (usually an employee) and outsourcing it to an undefined, generally large group of people in the form of an open call. Look for the book by Jeff Howe, the man responsible for identifying the term, this August.
