Thanks, I'll look into it!

The genome is represented by a set of parameters that control the rotation speed on each joint, 3 parameters per joint. The rotation speed for each joint on each simulation step is…

Good point!

The genome is pretty simple, just a few motor parameters for each joint in the body. 3 floats for each joint, to be precise. Then those are combined to set the speed of the motor i…

It's quite hard to get any better than 10 or so steps, luck starts playing a major role after a while. Some gait branches seem to reach a dead-end where any improvement would need …
