this is fun, even though the speed controls aren't super intuitive. You can press "Surprise" to speed things up and go through a bunch of iterations quickly. The mutation rate (likelihood that g changes) and mutation size (Δg) are fun hyperparameters to tweak while watching the population evolve over time. It would be interesting to see a gene for "compliance" so the cars could have some kind of suspension. EVerything more or less evolved into a sort of tron-bike shape for most of the runs I tried.

> EVerything more or less evolved into a sort of tron-bike shape for most of the runs I tried. I ran it in the background for a very high mutation rate for a long time and it managed to come up with something very different---a little wheel attached to a big wheel, which bounces around and goes over all the obstacles.
