**Not really a game, more a demonstration**This fun little app demonstrates the theory of evolution through mutation and selection.Initially a generation of 8 random shapes with wheels attached randomly, from that random generation the three than managed to roll, stumble and hop the furthest are picked as parents for the next round.Each generation from now on is parented randomly from the best of the previous round, the shapes are decided by a mix of 8 "genes" deciding angle and length inherited from two parents. Generation after generation the poorly performing cars will be cast aside while the better performers are combined into better (sometimes worse). Cars can be put into three seperate environments, each of which will lead to different adaptations. A ramp of quickly increasing height usually leads to a vehicle with its weight pushed towards the front, with a small, high torque wheel at the back.No part of the car design is predetermines, the shapes start off as random 8 sided polygons and develop purely through selection based only on the distance they manage to travel before becoming stuck.
