Taking a break from Arkham Knight (I'm at the underground Arkham Knight tunnel machine boss fight and since I blow at driving the batmobiles....) to play some EvE online.

It's not really a "game" I guess, but I've been watching this car racing simulator that uses a genetic algorithm to evolve and improve the cars over time. It's amusing to see how the cars get better and better each time and evolve differently depending on the shape of the track. It's like they're your little babies.
I don't think you can ever actually beat the track because eventually it gets too difficult and your score flatlines once you reach the optimal design.It looks like the cars actually become degenerate after a while because once they hit a wall they start optimizing for difficulties they face later down the track which leaves them unequipped to deal with earlier roadblocks.

The other day I kept the simulator on while I was doing errands and I got to 1000 generations (yeah it goes that high). The cars were basically godlike, lol.It's not really a "game" I guess, but I've been watching this car racing simulator that uses a genetic algorithm to evolve and improve the cars over time.
