The Dawkins' Weasel program is a simulation demonstrating the power of cumulative selection, as originally outlined by Richard Dawkins in his book "The Blind Watchmaker." This Unity-based implementation allows users to visualize the process by which random mutations can lead to complex forms through non-random, cumulative selection.
- Random Mutation: Introduces random mutations in offspring.
- Cumulative Selection: Selects the best-fit candidates for each generation.
- Visual Interface: Unity-based graphical interface to watch the evolution happen in real-time.
- Statistics: View statistics like generations passed, best candidate, etc.
- Start Simulation: Click the "Start" button to initiate the simulation.
- Pause: You can pause the simulation to closely examine the current state.
- Reset: Reset the simulation to its initial state.
- View Statistics: Click on the "Stats" button to view detailed metrics.
- Inspired by Richard Dawkins' work "The Blind Watchmaker"
