Gene pools (283 genotypes available)

Creatures which walk, jump, etc. (land environment)

Creatures which swim (water environment)

Various sample creatures

This gene pool summarizes best f1-encoded individuals from a very large-scale experiment on comparison of genetic encodings, performed in 2001. Its results were published in the Artificial Life Journal 7:4. Three tasks were:
- maximize height without brain working (hp),
- with brain working (h),
- maximize speed (s).
Note that for the correct behavior of the creatures, the setup should be just like it was during optimization (so this is unlikely if you use modern versions of the simulator). Minimal differences may cause some creatures to behave differently, because they were extremely adapted to the experimental setup (e.g., distance from ground when revived = 0.1).

This gene pool contains three genotypes with fuzzy control systems evolved. The fuzzy system definition and genetic operators, as well as these creatures, are described in more detail in the paper available at http://www.frams.alife.pl/common/Komosinski_FuzzyControl_CINC2003.pdf
The creatures are shown in the video at http://www.frams.alife.pl/common/FuzzyControl.mpg

This gene pool contains creatures which resemble letters and digits. There are 26 letters and 10 digits expressed as genotypes (in both f0 and f1 genetic encodings).
This gene pool is required by the "text writer" experiment definition which writes formatted texts using "the Framsticks font".

This gene pool contains creatures that use the "fF" genetic encoding.
