BoxCar 2D
About
BoxCar 2D is a free, proprietary online program that uses a genetic algorithm to learn how to build a car. The program 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. It is tagged as a car simulator, and is educational, allowing users to suggest and vote on features.
