  • I asked my community to submit their best bibites for a tournament. And because of the sheer amount of submission, I didn't have the choice of running a first Free-for-all round in order to thin out the numbers down to 16 bibites.
    The next video will be exciting!
    Who do you think will win?
    =================================
    The Bibites is an Artificial Life (Living AI!) simulation where I recreate some biological processes and let the lifeforms live, eat, reproduce, and mutate, leading to active evolution.
    They can evolve their body through a genetic algorithm and their behavior through a custom neural network algorithm.

  • @Ethan-cz8xq
    @Ethan-cz8xq Год назад +663

    I think the reason why you got bigger creatures in your 100h simulation but smaller ones in this is because while your 100h simulation was (relatively) very stable with lower competition and only a few species, this one had a very high competition, low resource, and instable environment. Since an instable environment favors creatures more able to exploit smaller, short-term advantages, this experiment favored smaller, faster reproducing creatures. Meanwhile in a stable ecosystem with little competition, creatures with longer-term advantages are favored.

    Adding a Bibite identifier string would fix the problem with tracking generations. The identifier would start with 2 or 3 characters and add a random character (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) with each mutation creating a unique string for each species and let you track the evolution easily. The number of characters will identify the number of total mutations and the number of identical characters at the beginning of the string will show at what point species diverged. For example, bibites a8j3ktV8p and a8j3ktc4q diverged after the t mutation.

I believe that a lot of us want to see how more diverse bibites would compare against each other! Like some of the ones with very complex brains like Subrufa aversor and Einstein, and some very big ones like Cerelus viator and The Immortal.

      Big Bibites have demonstrated weakness to small leeches, so I wonder if you could control behavior strongly by maturity.
      Stage 1: Baby herd strongly and attack any bibites of another color in the vicinity, protecting the herd mother from other bibites.
      Stage 2: Adolescents have weaker herding and tend to wander away to collect food on their own and reduce risk of a hive collapse.
      Stage 3: Mature egg-layers have no herding instinct, low metabolism and low cost egg laying.

    I think brain costs should be lowered.

    Here are a few of my future ideas for the Bibites(I don't expect any of these to be added to the sim, don't even know if they're possible, but whatever):
    1) Different kinds of plants.
    Some plants could be plain green circles, others could be a much darker color, some could have leaves, or be poisonous, etc. Maybe certain plants can only live in specific zones on the map. Also, Bibites that live around specific kinds of plants would adapt to only be able to eat those plants.
    2) Habitats/biomes
    Throughout the map there could be different biomes. These biomes could be differentiated based on climate, like having a hot equator section in the middle of the map, and a cold tundra at the top of the map. Bibites and/or plants in that area would adapt to their climates. I.e., Bibites in the tundra would have blubber to keep them warm, and ones in the equator would have a slow metabolism since food would probably be pretty scarce.
    3) Mass extinction events.
    Every once in a while(maybe every 2 hours), there's a small chance that a mass extinction event would take place(say....5% chance? Player could customize the chances and the time intervals). These events could cause things like rapid climate changes in certain areas, or toxic gasses appearing in the water(or whatever the Bibites float around in). Maybe meteors could occasionally strike and wipe out a portion of the map!
    Again, just a few ideas of mine that I think would be fun to have in the simulation. I look forward to the next Bibites updates, and your next video!

    Growing faster when being full is a great strategy, its investing in the bibits future when it can afford it while not waiting energy while in a drought. Its hard to imagine why that wouldn't be great for every bibit.

    @Morgan-bo1mr Год назад +6

    I imagine it would be difficult, but i think it might be interesting if bibits could swallow each other if the size difference is enough and the small one survives the bite, maybe this could evolve into parasitic or symbiotic behavior, potentially allowing a bibit to digest things it normally couldnt thanks to the bibits in it's gut or maybe starving to death as the bibit it ate eats it's food like a tape worm.
    This might be something to consider a lot further down the line, plant evolution might be something to have before this

    Hey! I live in a pretty tropical place and it is the rain months. I have recently seen many baby animals because of this and it made me think about seasons in the bibites. I feel it would be easier than some of the other features you want to implement, just requiring a sine wave based on time that affects food generation. This could quickly add advantageous behaviours such as hibernation, migration (if their was a season gradient over the hemispheres) and sync up the bibites life cycles, allowing generations and parental group behaviours to form.
    This feature would be amazing with the other features you talked about adding, such as plant evolution and sexual reproduction.
    You would be able to view generations living alongside eachother.
    I know updating this game is difficult and takes a long time, but I think this would be an easier way to increase the apparent complexity of behaviours than some of the other options.

    Something that would be nice is if we could see (and possibly change) some of the world settings after the simulation has started.
    If I ended up with a really cool simulation and wanted to know what I did to see if I could recreate it.
    Or if I wanted to decrease the number of virgin bibite spawns after the simulation has started so I could perhaps encourage them to lay eggs.
    Or if I wanted to make big brains cost more energy to cull useless connections, or make them cost less energy to encourage innovation
    I think that would help a lot in being able to apply more kinds of selective pressures to bibites

    I have always been obsessed with ecology, zoology, and evolution before i could read. I used to spend all my time as a child outside trying to record what each animal ate, and how they reacted to natural events, like how do ants stop their tunnels from flooding
    Now as a young adult i am trying to breed new varieties of plants to produce yeilds at different times, or to survive different growing conditions without compromising the yield
    Basically at all times in my life, atleast one of my favorite things has been evolution based, whether the selection was artificial, or natural.
    For years I've always wished someone would make a smart, evolution based computer simulator that everyone could use. It may not be as advanced as i would have hoped, but it is certainly a beautiful creation, and by far the best I've been able to find
    You sir have my respect and admiration. Your creation is the greatest thing my computer can do, and probably all it will be used for for the next month lol
