evo16

A deterministic artificial-life simulation with reproducible experiments.

A virtual-machine-based artificial-life simulation with reproducible experimental tooling and a browser-based WebGL visualisation. The value is in the determinism and the controls, not in the pixels: the same seed produces the same run, so a claim about what evolved can be re-checked.

Approach

  • A small virtual machine with a defined instruction set and world model.
  • Deterministic execution — a seed reproduces a run exactly.
  • Reproducible experiment tooling with explicit controls.
  • A WebGL visualisation in the browser for inspecting a run.
