#12This is amazing. My question is whether there are emergent structures in a long-running sandbox environment? The videos that were posted appeared to have quite complex structures but it was unclear whether they were designed or if they "evolved" from earlier more-basic structures. Would be curious to get the author's take.
Most of these look very designed, though "emerging" from simple rules on agents/particles.
Others look evolved inside the sandbox. (see doc here: https://alien-project.org/documentation/Evolutionexperiments...)

One of the YouTube videos claims that they are self-replicating structures that were "evolved" in another simulation. So possibly the appearance of being designed comes from the fact that they were selected from the best of whatever was produced by that other simulation and placed together for a video.

Have you ever seen http://boxcar2d.com/? It requires Flash so it probably doesn't work anymore, but it used genetic algorithms to "design" a 2d car to travel over bumpy terrain.
It was ported here https://rednuht.org/genetic_cars_2/ but it's not quite the same thing.
