Games similar to Egg Worm Generator include Genetic Cars 2, which is free and open source. Other options are BoxCar 2D, Cambrian Explosion and Biogenesis. In total there are four Simulation Games like Egg Worm Generator for the web, Mac, Windows and Linux.
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).
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.
The primary focus is to evolve locomotion in a variety of creatures using a genetic algorithm in a fun easily accessible simulation allowing to understand the fundamentals of evolution. Stay tuned. More to come :)
Biogenesis is a program that simulates in a visual fashion the processes involved in the evolution of unicellular organisms at nature.
