Welcome to the Minemonics wiki!


Minemonics is an open-source 3D virtual creature simulator (3DVCE). I began its development directly on github so that its source always remains open to the public and that I can never step back from making it public.

I try to document the process and state of the development as well as possible and hopefully the quality of the documentation remains high over the time.

Here is the documentation of the main steps to get a proper development environment:

The Minemonics: On the origin of creatures

The Minemonics are the creatures evolved from this simulator. They live in their own virtual world and evolved over many generations to what they are today. They are usually very sleepy, which makes them change only little from generations and only if they have to, meaning if there is a new fitness function that challenges their current morphology and behavior. They do not know why they are called Minemonics, but one day, they might get intelligent enough to be able to understand the meaning of the name by themselves.
