Alright, so I left it be for 6 hours while I was gone.. And now I’ve got a unicorn buggy.

Love it when they spawn with no wheels.

12 times in a row is my record. I’m not really sure what the wheel frequency does. Cranked it to 100 and they still spawed without wheels sometimes.

I got to 699.6, but I don’t really understand what’s going on :D

The algorithm has a few criteria it bases itself upon to decide how to transform the cars, it’s much like natural selection. The characteristics of a car that make it past a certain goal (in distance) or does well will have parts of his characteristics transferred to other cars, and cars that do bad won’t have their characteristics transferred as much. (you can tell by the different colours the cars take on after a few generations, in the first generations you have cars with only one solid colour, and after that the colours on different cars differentiate more and more, this is the cars giving their “genes” if you may to the other cars)

So the cars who are adapted the best for the job at hand will have their characteristics transferred to other cars, kinda like natural selection.

Well that’s my theory from what i’ve seen anyways

the best car I had was a 3 wheeler with two wheels in one plane and a third one on top and in the middle of the bottom two. It looked kinda like an RC-Car I once owned. Triangle of wheels – nearly unstoppable.

Also, I had a couple very successful models with different wheel-configurations but one common “feature” – some kind of a break which slows the vehicle down and prevents it from flippin, but this will always fail on steep hills ^^

Also, some developments are just deadends, but if you wait long enough there will be a breakthrough.

but yeah, I am addicted.
