True Evolution


True Evolution is a project aimed at demonstrating the principles of the theory of evolution in a virtual environment. Conditional organisms, hereinafter referred to as creatures, live in a limited space and can interact both with the environment and with each other. As a result, natural selection arises, which, together with the occurrence of mutations, leads to the formation of adaptations and an increase in the fitness of creatures. In other words, creatures evolve (and sometimes completely die out, failing to adapt to environmental conditions).

True Evolution is a real generator of artificial life in the virtual world. Due to the variety of strategies for survival, population divergence and speciation occur, creatures adapt and occupy certain ecological niches. One of the advantages of True Evolution is the enormous variability of the initial conditions of the simulation: more than 100 parameters can be changed in the settings, thus creating a huge number of worlds that are not similar to each other. Some may turn out to be completely unsuitable for life, while in others evolution will proceed in different ways, somewhere creatures will remain primitive (in a favorable environment, the pressure of natural selection is weak), and somewhere on the contrary complex structures will develop. In any case, watching every simulation in True Evolution is incredibly interesting!
