    All attributes need a tradeoff, else every agent will just max out all the relevant stats.
    More speed = more muscles = more mass to maintain = needs more food to survive.
    More neck = visible from further away
    etc.
    That would make the simulation much more interesting.

      I think a good tradeoff for the trees would be to make how often they are eaten from be the determiner for how far the tree's offspring can spawn. Then couple that with a crowding mechanic, so trees are incentivized to keep their height in a range reachable only by some deer but not all or else they and their offspring die from overcrowding.

    • @regionfuego6
      @regionfuego6 Рік тому +49

      To build on this, while this could be more complicated to program, maybe the coyotes could have different “killing” strength. The strongest ones could potentially take down a deer in one attack but they tend to be slower while the smaller ones would be faster but potentially weaker and take longer to take them down

    • @WilliamWizer
      @WilliamWizer Рік тому +34

      exactly.
      to give an example for the trees. if it's too high, it needs more food and deers will focus more on them since they are more visible.
      it would also need some population control for trees. if an area of trees is too dense, trees can't get enough nutrients and/or light.
      one important factor would be to take into account the age of the deers. if a female becomes too old, she will be more interested in accepting a male so she can have children. after a certain age, females reach menopause and males don't ask them again to copulate.
      coyotes should also be able to die of old age.
      both, deer and coyotes should gain wisdom with time but lose other traits. less stamina/speed/perception but more wisdom/cunning.

    If you reimplement this feature, but give hunters the same ability (to remember where they last got their pray, while deer remember the last time they saw a deer die) that might lead to some really fun interactions!

      Yeah because staying around water sources/ especially food sources is what deer do when they have no reason to go anywhere from lack of predators. They will just stay in one spot and eat the entire area bare if there isn’t the threat of predators to keep them moving. So it was pretty realistic they just stayed in one spot while they didn’t have predators lol

    Maybe consider making the trees adapt in different ways, like producing more fruit, spawning closer, etc. Also, trees could need nutrients to survive, like deer and coyote feces.

    This is a great start, we know it needs to start somewhere.
    Keep add new blueprints like:
    -a digestive system, a time to process the food and the waste becomes a tree with days
    -a stress level where is connected with stamina (the more energy deer use the more stress level goes up) the less desire to giving birth
    -a variation of random behaviour with each other
    -a tension situation when they doesn’t find food
    -when it becomes night, they have different behavior and finding food is more difficult
    -a blueprint which makes them understand that staying together is more safer
    -add season weather with rain(if rain and is cold they can gat sick, and cannot use all their stamina)
    -add some butterflies and other mini animals
    -make the tree producing fruits on their branch (and a probability of making healthy fruit) if else they can make them sick, and they have to understand what causes it, to split the idea of choosing what yes and what not

    It'd be interesting if you gave the trees fruit and a nutrient system. The nutrients would be used by the trees to grow their height and also regrow new leaves and fruit. Where trees cluster together, they would fight over limited nutrients and would struggle to take full advantage of their inherited traits. The fruits can be used to spread the trees, like how it works in the video, but they can also be eaten by the deer and the deer can poop the seeds out around the map growing trees even further off. I think this would give the trees and deer an interesting symbiotic relationship like much of nature has irl

And there should be both leg and neck length, neck length also influences vision radius, and leg length influences speed. there should also be a cone of vision, and the current circle should be a mix of vision, sound, and 6th sense.

    i like it. I’d like to see animals communicating with one another, perhaps 3 calls each. and have them tied to inputs and outputs through genetics. And maybe there should be trade offs for the various stats;
    trees have height and the downside could be a shorter life span (doesnt make realworld sense but would limit offspring)
    deer have stamina, fov, speed, and neck height, downsides could be food required, water required, stamina used, and speed reduction respectively
    coyotes could have similar downsides to deer.

    What is the cost function here? What's to stop the gazzelles and cheetahs just maxing out their speed? In real life increased speed means increased food needs, and possible other costs such as reduced ability to hoard fat reserves. Likewise long necks have the risk of snapping too easily or having poor blood flow from the heart to the brain

  • @Naxafa
    @Naxafa Рік тому

    Neck height could be used to evolve into giraffes, which could have different stats than deers (e.g. longer neck means you can't run as fast but you are stronger to face coyotes or can reach new areas, maybe easier to pray for certain coyotes with certain stats), increasing the diversity of the game. On the other hand, I think deers eating too many trees leads to ecosystem collapse, therefore no trees to eat, therefore deers dying, therefore trees being able to respawn (e.g. idea of seed bank in soils). These are just very simple ideas, I don't know how easy to implement, but it could give new insights to this evolution simulator. All the best with this project.

    I can think of two things that would be interesting to add!
    The first is that trees could evolve some kind of defense against getting eaten. Like some trees and plants in the real world do they could maybe produce a very bad tasting bitter flavor that most herbivores don’t like! Or they could evolve some kind of other defense mechanism like thorns or poison.
    The second idea is to go back to the memory thing you tried earlier but instead of it being something that everyone has it could be another genetic trait. Basically some of the dear and some of the coyotes will have better long term memory than others. To prevent them from just getting stuck near the water we could use some kind of discouragement. Ether make it so that they are more vulnerable if they are close to the water hole or (the more fun thing in my opinion) we could ad a new contender in this little evolutionary experiment! I’m thinking maybe alligators or crocodiles that live in the water and will ambush the animals that come to drink. So now the animals that go to the water will have to be extra careful so they don’t get eaten!
    I would also like to see if it could be possible to make a completely self sufficient system eventually. What would it take for the ecosystem to be stabilized and not collapse after a week or two?!
    Another idea for two more additions to the ecosystem is owls and mice! Owls live in trees and hunt mice at night (giving night an actual purpose for survival) and mice will live in underground tunnels and will only come out to find food or water!

    Amazing video ! the video reminds me of the graph where the deer number increase -> then the coyotes have more deer to eat so many are killed -> now there are more coyotes which can reproduce and feed their children however now they need more food to feed the higher coyote population but since so many coyote's can hunt many deer, now there is a small deer population -> coyote's numbers reduce since they can't find enough deer to feed the increased population -> deer numbers increase since less coyote's to hunt them, rinse and repeat.

    This is awesome! I’d love to see the results of a few specific changes: each tree occasionally sprout seeds along the path of the deer that ate from it and takes longer to reach full height, any wolf involved in a hunt can eat from the same deer (to lower the 1:1 consumption ratio), and female deer have sex drive (giving the males choice that is much less selective, to provide slow wolf-food). This might solve the issues with both the trees, and the deer going extinct. If you also include a way for the wolves to occasionally cull the older ones, their population might balance out too! 😂👍

    @kplays_6000 Рік тому

    It was a very well-made simulation, however it felt like there were no drawbacks and the ideal way for things to survive quickly became a maxing solution rather than minmax, and it kind of took away any opportunity for balance. I think having drawbacks to characteristics would be a massive improvement and lead to much more interesting results which would really let the natural selection / genetic algorithms shine!

    Here's an idea for the tall tree deer population problem.
    Trees need deer to eat fruit to spread the seed to grow the trees, those that don't get deer to eat them, will have to contend with their offspring competing with them for light and nutrients.
    Most plant species actually evolved to fit their life cycles to the nutritional needs of various animals to help them spread. So the trees aren't competing with the deer to avoid being eaten, they're competing with each other to be more tasty.
    That's how it would be in real life, I think.
    If you haven't already thought of this and someone else didn't mention it, of course.

  • @Trinimp

    Somethings I thought that would be good interest additions.
    I most definitely want to see you expand the project, and I'm really into nature.
    The tree spawning should be based on where the deer poops and the tree location, which should be based off a seed trait.
    But it might take longer to mature.
    Maturing at a younger age can be a trait given to all 3
    The deer should be able to smell other deers and run towards them, increasing their survival chances.
    Coyotes could have a pack tactic trait, were the Coyote tries to chase the deer in a way to direct it toward another coyote.
    All make deer sharable, maybe like a corpse.
    Bigger
    Faster
    Stronger
    Deer or coyote requires more food
    A rare chance for rapid mutation.
    I have plenty more ideas with lots of different creature but I digress.

    You should add cannibalism to the wolves with a variable for "time spent without food" where they will start considering other wolves as food.
    It would be interesting to see the end game after the deer are dead. I wonder if two different species would basically evolve or what would happen

    Another idea for balancing trees and deer would be to incentivize trees to be smaller.
    In nature, many trees require animal behavior in order for them to reproduce. A squirrel must burry a acorn before that tree can grow. In your sim, the eating of the trees could be "shaking" out the seeds. If trees are more likely to reproduce when the deer eat from them, then trees that grow too tall will be less likely to share their genes.
    Also, some guy I used to work with taught me that, in Vietnamese, the word "giraffe" translates to "long neck deer"

    Maybe add flying herbivorous bugs that eat trees, along with frogs that eat the bugs.

    There is one aspect of evolution you didn't include. Once the predator is faster than the prey again, reproduction urge spikes, resulting in a mix of faster and slower prey animals. The slower animals will slow down the predators, making survival for the faster animals easier. Because your females completely lacked this urge to reproduce, meaning that urge can't spike, the deer were hunted to extinction.
