BoxCar 2D Alternatives

BoxCar 2D is described as 'The program learns to build a car using a genetic algorithm. It starts with a population of 20 randomly generated shapes with wheels and runs each one to see how far it goes. The cars that go the furthest reproduce to produce offspring for the next generation' and is an website in the education & reference category. There are four alternatives to BoxCar 2D, not only websites but also apps for Windows, Mac and Linux. The best BoxCar 2D alternative is Genetic Cars 2, which is both free and Open Source. Other great sites and apps similar to BoxCar 2D are Cambrian Explosion, Biogenesis and Egg Worm Generator.

    The program uses a simple genetic algorithm to evolve random two-wheeled shapes into cars over generations. Loosely based on BoxCar2D, but written from scratch, only using the same physics engine (box2d).
