I Made an Evolution Simulator (with silly little guys)

Video Description

Have you ever pondered the very fabric of life itself? Well it can be recreated with some lines of code and silly little guys! This video explores my journey of creating an evolution simulator in Unity to look at natural selection, genetic mutations, and lots of random features as they entered my sleep-deprived brain.

Here, I programmed an entire virtual ecosystem where virtual creatures mutate, hunt, and evolve in (hopefully) interesting ways! I was actually first intrigued by a biology course at university (which I wasn't initially planning on taking!), but it transformed into this multi-month project which I deeply hope you enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed making :) [00:00] prepare yourselves for the journey of your life [00:23] setting up the "simulation" [02:12] boinking and whatnot [03:43] eeeeevolution [07:17] 2 quick side tangents [08:27] suffering from success [10:58] ah yes... realism is the key feature here [13:21] BREAKING NEWS (part 1, the beginning) [14:25] science and things!! [18:06] we need to make a gooblet dating show [21:57] these graphs say a lot about society [23:24] does eating uranium cause mutations? [26:39] SCIENCE MYTHS [28:51] wombos [31:11] bungers [33:17] BREAKING NEWS (part 2, the finale) [34:54] i am currently 4 degrees kelvin [37:14] is this even ethical to simulate? [38:33] goodbye and thank you!!! Similar videos!
