+ # Digital Life Evolution Simulator
12
+
13
+ A self-evolving AI ecosystem where autonomous entities compete, reproduce, and adapt through neural networks and genetic algorithms. Watch digital life emerge and evolve in real-time.
14
+
15
+ ## What It Does
16
+
17
+ This simulation creates a population of AI entities with unique genomes that control their behavior through neural networks. Each entity:
18
+
19
+ - **Perceives** its environment (food, energy, other entities)
20
+ - **Decides** actions based on neural network processing
21
+ - **Adapts** through natural selection - successful traits get passed to offspring
22
+ - **Evolves** over generations as mutations introduce variation
23
+
24
+ Four entity types exist:
25
+
26
+ - **Gatherers** - Collect food and energy efficiently
27
+ - **Predators** - Hunt and consume other entities
28
+ - **Builders** - Create structures and territorial markers
29
+ - **Explorers** - Scavenge and discover new resources
30
+
31
+ ## Quick Start
32
+
33
+ ```bash
34
+ # Start a local server
35
+ npx serve .
36
+ # or
37
+ python3 -m http.server 8000
38
+
39
+ # Open in browser
40
+ http://localhost:8000
41
+ ```
42
+
43
+ ## Features
44
+
45
+ - **Neural Network AI** - Each entity has a unique brain with 80+ configurable parameters
46
+ - **Genetic Algorithm** - Reproduction with crossover and mutation
47
+ - **Spatial Awareness** - Efficient spatial hashing for proximity detection
48
+ - **Real-time Stats** - Track population, generations, fitness, and neural activity
49
+ - **Visual Feedback** - See neural network activations while watching decisions
50
+
51
+ ## Tech Stack
52
+
53
+ - Pure vanilla JavaScript (ES2022 modules)
54
+ - HTML5 Canvas rendering
55
+ - No build step, no dependencies
56
+
57

+ ```
72
+
73
+ ## How Evolution Works
74
+
75
+ 1. **Selection** - Entities with higher fitness are more likely to reproduce
76
+ 2. **Crossover** - Two parents combine their neural network weights
77
+ 3. **Mutation** - Random Gaussian noise introduces variation
78
+ 4. **Survival** - Less fit entities die; successful traits propagate
79
+
80
+ Over time, you'll observe emergent behaviors as entities adapt to the competitive environment.
