Go under the hood with real-time performance data and open-source transparency for a truly technical sandbox experience.

Loved by users worldwide

Trusted by 244K+ people who love this app.

"As a Computer Science major, I've found this to be the most intuitive way to visualize how neural networks actually function. It is absolutely fascinating to build a chaotic creature and watch it slowly optimize its gait through pure trial and error. It is not just a simulation; it is a powerful, hands-on educational sandbox."

"I love the 'no-pressure' environment. I can spend an hour on my iPad just tweaking muscle placements and joints to see if I can get my creation to climb. The fact that you can even look at the source code shows how much the developer cares about the science. Truly addictive for anyone who loves physics simulations."

About the app

Everything you need to know about Evolution - Learning Creatures.

Description

Use joints, bones and muscles to build creatures that are only limited by your imagination. Watch how the combination of neural networks and an evolutionary algorithm can enable your creatures to learn and improve at their given tasks all on their own. The tasks include running, jumping, climbing and flying. Can you design the ultimate creature that is good at all of the tasks? The latest update allows you to easily share your simulation saves and creature designs with your friends. Note that this is more of a simulation than a game. There are no real objectives. But there is a lot to learn if you are interested in the basics of machine learning and neural networks. You can even look at the source code if you want. There is also a Mac & PC version available for download and a browser version for you to try out on the main project website (keiwando.com/evolution).
