breveWalker: the evolution of locomotion
now available for the iPhone
breveCreatures is a screensaver that simulates the evolution of virtual creatures in a physically simulated 3D world. Beginning initially with random creatures, the screensaver uses a genetic algorithm to develop creatures capable of realistic locomotion behaviors. breveCreatures was built with the free breve simulation environment, and is included as a demo in the download. Download breve to try out your own custom versions of the breveCreatures simulation.
Because the screensaver uses an evolutionary algorithm, it may take a long time—hours, or even days—before effective locomotion behaviors can be observed. Each time it is run, the screensaver will save its progress and continue from where it left off.
breveCreatures 2.7.5 expands creature genomes for the evolution of new structures and for the evolution of more efficient locomotion strategies.
