I was wondering if there was any work in the field of evolving 'creatures' moving in a virtual space, beyond what Karl Sims did 23 years ago. https://www.karlsims.com/evolved-virtual-creatures.html https://www.karlsims.com/galapagos/index.html

It would be nice if Karl Sims could open source it as it is really inspiring visual example in the field of Artificial Life, next to seeing the generations of metuselahs unfolding in Conway's game of life

Another interesting article in the field of Artificial Life: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1803.03453.pdf
