[PTTG??]

Boxcar2d.com

It's a little semi-game based on the idea that what people really want is to watch spiky deathcars flail helplessly, then upvote/downvote them.

Share your favorite car's DNA! It's not as creepy as it sounds!

Played this last night, kinda interesting, but is there a reason it's so choppy? or is it just my computer?

It's probably just your computer.

I find the concept interesting, but I am frustrated by the fact that it cannot be paused and only runs when it is the active tab within the active window.

[Farseer]

How does it work, exactly?

Just random generate vehicles then mix the successful ones together the next generation?

[PTTG??]

Yes, though I understand the measurements of "success" vary a bit depending on the map.

All you need to do to pause it is to open a new tab and select that.

Actually, I did notice that if you open two separate windows (not tabs) you can keep multiple copies going at the same time.

[AntiAntiMatter]

All you need to do to pause it is to open a new tab and select that.

That's the problem. It's impossible to run in the background because of that.

[nenjin]

It seems like it just starts eating up your physical memory too, with each generation it produces. I can't imagine that being all that good for performance.

CC from HAPPY thread:

16 generations, and I was averaging at least 275 and 40 seconds on the hang ten course.

My best one, according to it:

Code: [Select]

0.102,2.5,0.077,0.93,0.89,0.559,0.368,0.586,0.588,1.616,0.96,0.308,0.331,0.223,0.234,0.342,4,6.071,1.025,-1,5.556,1.061,0,4.745,1.097,0,2.872,1.184,-1,3.646,0.129,-1,6,0.369,-1,1.352,0.379,7,1.45,0.361,10980374,2858893,1790999,2679042,16512925,1760192,4900492,4900492,4900492,14363803,15002006,2026640,7495335,10599722,7649435,2303310
16th generation 2-wheel speedster:
Scores:
337.7 in 59.9 on Hang Ten (It's birthplace)
1 ramp on Big Air
75.8 in 15.8 on The Gap
156 in 55 on Blockhead
223.9 in 23.8 on Sisyphus.
385 in 20.7 on Speedway. (385 = complete circuit)

7 generations after this one on the default random terrain produced this thing's heir:

Code: [Select]

0.102,2.5,0.077,0.93,0.701,2.836,0.317,0.619,0.957,1.616,0.96,0.308,0.483,0.223,0.234,0.342,4,6.071,1.025,-1,5.556,1.061,0,4.745,1.097,0,2.872,1.184,-1,5.453,0.129,7,6,0.369,-1,1.352,0.379,0,1.45,1.056,10914581,2793100,11941296,13585212,14426779,1694399,2420272,4834699,13279314,14298010,14936213,1960847,11582621,10314137,7583642,16700634On it's second chance in Hang Ten:
324.7 (40.6) (quite an improvement)
2 ramps in Big Air
72.1 (15.9) in The Gap
116.1 (25) in Blockhead
221.6 (23.6) in Sisyphus
Complete circuit (385) in 21 on Speedway

Not a bad descendant.

And this interesting "Jouster"-type model came along. Surprisingly well built for it's form.

Code: [Select]

I did not expect that.

I figured I might as well copy my HAPPY post regarding the topic. Try them out.

Oh yeah, and they were evolved out of random generations. No premakes, though the jouster did derive from the second car's set.

My generic car seed:

Does 15 seconds, if I remember well, on racing.

That's the problem. It's impossible to run in the background because of that.

I believe that its a "feature" of this generation of flash (or whatever was used to make it). Not caused by the actual game.

[KrunkSplein]

I haven't yet gotten to killing boxes, but I *have* been evolving cars!

Here was my seed car.  I made it in about 20 seconds:

KrunkSplein: I'm sorry your car melted, Bro.

[dogstile]

Damn PTTG, i'm doing the same thing, and i'm only 48 generations in

Edit:

I love how because the game sometimes drops cars on their backs, they eventually all start spawning with either wheels on all side or where the body is flat
