The genome is represented by a set of parameters that control the rotation speed on each joint, 3 parameters per joint. The rotation speed for each joint on each simulation step is given by: x * cos(y + z * simulation_steps); where x

The genome is pretty simple, just a few motor parameters for each joint in the body. 3 floats for each joint, to be precise. Then those are combined to set the speed of the motor in each joint on every simulation step. I tried more complex

It's quite hard to get any better than 10 or so steps, luck starts playing a major role after a while. Some gait branches seem to reach a dead-end where any improvement would need to come from a major overhaul of the gene combination i
