Evolution critter sim game by Keiwan

So, this critter-design Evolution sim game is fun:


Evolution by Keiwan (accessed 02019)
Like the site says:
`Use joints, bones and muscles to build creatures that are only limited by your imagination. Watch how the combination of a neural network and a genetic algorithm can enable your creatures to "learn" and improve at their given tasks all on their own. 
The tasks include running, jumping and climbing. 
Can you build the ultimate creature that is good at all of the tasks?'

Here's a YouTube video by IGP about it:
`BIGGEST BRAIN EVER & WALKING HUMAN - Neural Network MAXED - Evolution Simulator ( Evolution Gameplay)' (02018)

And here's some random critters I made while playing around with it:










Try it, it's fun!
It demonstrates the obvious physical and spatial issues in evolutionary Design Space. 
Some geometrical shapes work better than others when you have gravity & obstacles to deal with. 
Which gets back to: Agency and Structure. Which pretty much solves the problem of Free Will, until we can hack the Sim we're in :)
