I made my final project for high school about simulating life and they failed me (imo because they didn't have any insight on the topic and only wanted to see their perspective). But these vids got me motivated to keep going. This engine is so cool and interesting. edit: I wanted to give a little update because I never got a notification of these comments and all the love. First of all thanks a lot for the support and sorry for not responding. I'm Belgian and currently going to university for a bachelor in mathematics , I'm probably gonna do a minor in biological informatics next year. The main reason why they failed me was because you got assigned a teacher who helps you with your project. Mine was an IT teacher. So he expected me to only talk about the programming. But my focus was more on the aspect of analysing data, interpreting it, and giving my (maybe a bit dreamy) perspective on it. Sadly that wasn't appreciated. If I would've just talked about how I programmed everything I would've passed for sure but that just seemed way too boring for me. Again thank you all for the support. When I posted this I was scared people were gonna see it as some cheap way to get likes.
@@PokeNebula artificial life in virtual is the imaginative precursor to artificial life with mechanical technology. So I'd analogize traditional computing and AI with traditional robotics and artificial life We have 4 billion years of evolution. Evolution and life are not just side shows... they are an expression of the laws of the universe. So I think there will some day be different forms of biology made of silicon or whatever else, instead of just water and DNA and proteins and stuff. There is almost endless possibilities, since we already have humans as the bootloader and it doesn't have to be self boot-strapping. As intelligent as humans are, that doesn't preclude bacteria from being successful, nor mice, nor ants, nor several other species. Even if AI becomes a dominating force on Earth and beyond, I think it's stupid to believe it will have god-tier centralized control and power. There will always be the little critters hiding in the shadows and corners and other difficult to reach places. Artificial life is likely to participate in that niche, or maybe even be the substrate for artificial intelligence in the first place.
Making computers out of things that aren't meant to be computers is totally fascinating to me. I was completely enthralled with Redstone computers, and this is at a whole other level. Very, VERY cool!
Computers within computers within computers... some even say that the Earth was created as a computer to answer the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything: can it run Doom?
Wow, these new additions are so great! I haven't been in the community in a while so I hadn't heard of these announcements but the load and save features were definitely my most anticipated features for the Life Engine, also nice seeing my fan art featured here! 😄
MaximalMegaminx here, glad to have quite a few inclusions, I want to add a few things: - that photo of a binary adding calculator was the only thing displayed, because my original channel I posted it under, got hacked, changed everything about it, streamed some sports for some reason, gained a lot of likely fake subs and views, and was within a few hours (after I saved the situation), banned by TH-cam, otherwise we’d have a whole video showcasing the mechanism - “Napoleon” seemed like a funny name for an organism that has trouble eating, retreats a lot, but is very aggressive - I actually achieved a Shrub Swamp through pure chance, with no direct edits to the ecosystem, I did inform the discord of it, and I’m glad someone else included it, very likely rediscovered - gonna love the new competition!
maybe you should create a organism that functions like a cell membrane (cell membrane can't fed itself , and has to be fed by specific type of organism), that control things that enter and exist , so more large structures can maybe , MAYBE form .
Nice stable and successful organism design: Three layers. Triangle shape. Top of triangle: one orange. Middle of triangle: two greens with a gap in the middle. Bottom of triangle: orange, gap, red, gap, orange. I've been calling this one Delta Christmas because it looks like a decorated pine tree to me. Someone else may have already figured this one out and given it a better name though. It's a lot like swamp bushes. It fills a map, packing itself closely together, and creating movers that last only just long enough to clean out the old food before getting crowded out. Selection tends to move toward stabilizing the design, with the original varient remaining somewhere on your world map for hours. Hunter does kill them all though.
Purple flowers (and even fully armored purple flowers) actually get countered by flycatcher-esque borers (floating killer block 2 blocks away from the mouth/movers). They rotate to invade the 1 block hole the purple flowers take their food in with the killer block.
This is cool I love creating things. Since someone else created this engine, I would not know how it works so it would be fun seeing if whatever I create using the engine follows the path I think it will or if I need to try again at making a useful creation.
The two first thing i thought of once having understood the basics of how organisms interact in the simulation are: fluid simulation and computers i expected i wouldnt the only one to think about it
Oh, I was more interested in making them evolve naturally. That colony world, I made one like that, starting with a base square organism. I guess it's a quirk of allowing movers to produce food while moving and hitting each other repeatedly. I noticed the same thing, they would eventually make chains (like DNA or atoms) eating each others food producer. But if I noticed completely, they evolved some kind of mechanism to allow or not allow another organism to chain.
This is a really cool video! I've been messing around with life engine, and one thing I'm noticing is that it would be really nice to see an evolution tree of all the species
What if you add a new tile which allows the same species or very similar species to connect to each other once in contact with that tile. If at least one of the species has a mover tile, then they will move together. The organisms wouldn't merge into one organism but it would be interesting for making colony behavior. Each organism is still required to eat to reproduce themselves, but they can work together to collect food. The tile could also be switched in setting to connect any organisms and create very interesting relationships like for example an animal cell and a mitochondria. I think this tile would have to evolve naturally at a very low rate however.
Very interesting engine. I'd be curious to see other types of block that act as obstacles that have lifetimes based on how they were produced. Like different body parts that decay at different rates. Conway would have loved this! :)
That Fibonacci sequence world was very impressive. Even though coding the Fibonacci sequence is Comp. Sci. 101 stuff, no matter how many ways I've seen it coded, there seems to always be some sort of new creative logic to it that always impresses me.
There should be a hyperparameter that makes larger organisms live longer and need less food, similarly to the way blue whales have a lifespan and metabolism advantage over bacteria. This way, organisms can be incentivized to grow larger.
Wondering if this could be used to model a swarm of Mars helikopters with battery swap capabilities. A small group of heavy duty scouters and a large group of mobile solar energy collectors and or signal relays.
Funny how people, whenever they see some system that MIGHT be borderline Turing-complete, immediately go on to create ALUs, CPUs, GPUs and computers :D First in the Game of Life, then in Minecraft, and now in Life Engine.
I am fascinated by the fact that a computer was built to compute as a human computes but human intelligence is Authentic intelligence but a comouter is Artificial intelligence. What makes a human authentically intelligent because I beg to differ.....

I wonder what grade the creator of our universe got.
You must be in the American Public School System! Hang in there
Sorry to hear that. Artificial Life will become as important as Artificial Intelligence some day, in my opinion. I think they really missed the mark.

Thx for adding my creations! So many cool things people have made, and Mixers computer is a completely different beast.

Like a filter cell type? Only certain other cell types are allowed to move through?
A mitochondria would also be helpful
what would be the purpose of that?
@@Rudxain how would a mitochondria work
@@humanleader184 I have no idea lol
I read the title as "ORGASM COMPUTER" and I have never clicked a video faster
dirty mind lmao

This is really cool stuff.
I think this engine has the prices to make a really cool survival sim competitive game.
I am asking the REAL questions here, can it run doom?
firstly I would like to wish you well and to say a huge thank you for uploading these videos as they have been an invaluable resource to
I wonder if you could get Life Engine to work as a live wallpaper
i have no idea why, but hearing your voice just makes feel soothed.

Great review, very clear. Thank you, good luck, everything, peace and health!

The sweepers are beautiful! So mesmerizing to look at.
Gotta love that little anxious guy.
love your vids! found your channel in one of your early life engine devlogs :)
studying more of your videos to begin to get comfortable. Thank you!
I just found you and I already love the stuff you’re uploading. Subbed.
It is pretty cool game made by one person I assume. It enabled community to create their own sandboxes which are cool to watch.

it's so cool to see what's possible in these worlds
What an idea, use MidJourney to image organisms, nice.
I've seen that has actually explained it to in a concise way!
s and a couple EDM and Dubstep goals for myself, and I guess I better start learning sowhere. Thanks for the great vid!

Thank you man for sharing this stuff
Wow, this is like Conway's life, hours of fun
My biosphere likes to commit die.
Thanks a lot - your video is a Great start to soft soft. I'm onto it !
great thanks for that! Very clear and articulate!

You are a legend, you helped a lot and you explained it really great!
willing to learn. Unless you already understand setups, then I gues sit's gonna be easier, but as a classically trained pianist I was blown
Amazing, literally the creators
I fucking love you mate!! I saw a lot of videos for soft but tNice tutorials one is handsdown the best one! Love how your super calm and really take
Hey man, It works great and without any problems.
I'm looking forward decades down the road they reach space stage and they are colonizing all over the internet.
oh wow. this looks fun can't wait to Make Something interesting with it xD
My brain exploded like Nagasaki but i slowly understood the whole video the more i watched it

A second version of the programme would be useful, with other body parts, with which one can create cells that also form colonies.
Thank you for all of this. This is too Neat~!

I just wanna learn even more now- it looks so cool o.O
Thanks bud! great video and instructions.

very very gooood, thaaankss maan✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Oh my god so good explained thank you!!!!
He had when he "pitched down the Nice tutorialgh hats at the end of the phrase. "
Thank you! Here's a request from ! Can you please make a tutorial on how to record your actual tutorial and input your own soft
And I recomnd starting with LMMS instead of spending 0 and not really know what your getting into. LMMS is free and I've been
thanks for the info really helped alot. i rather learn about tNice tutorials than school
thanks a lot!!! so nice reverb
I love the fact that you took your time to explain everything into details
Thankyou that was ready helpful.
@10:07 - I think this would have been batter name "Nanites in a Linear Memory Crystal Candy Store". 😀
Fantastic project

My Mind: Orgasm Computer
What an angel! You save my broken head!
how you guys build this pls make a course for this man.
example... Drum kit - (kick, Snare, Nice tutorial-Hats ETC) all RED, app all Purple, Keyboards all Yellow, softs all Green and on..
works PERFECTLY!
Take ti, enjoy it most of all and results will follow
this is still so awesome.
amazing
Life engine seems awesome
else to it. How do I do that? Your answer would be Nice tutorialghly helpful and appreciated.
Great job ❤️ Big thanks!
you aren't a setup master without a set of cans around your neck.. I'm wearing a set now even though I don't know what I'm doing! LOL!
Thank you! It helped a lot.
Hmmm... Seems like a difficult program to handle but manageable.
Really helpfull tutorials. Helped a lot
Yess love this site
try setting all values to 42.. looks cool :-)
Bro TH-cam way to comfy with these double 15 second adds
This reminds me of the game of life simulation it looks like this but much more simple
We are one step closer to making Life Engine run Doom
Absolutely!!
oh i would have loved to give a submission... i had a plant that just panted itself around everywhere
This is flatland. Your idea could go a lot farther than you think, If you approach the right people.
nice tuto bro, that solved!
and just pay more attension. I envy you mate.
1:05 - I came up with the exact same design as the left one haha
Do you have a video showing how to edit softs????
