Framsticks

I am currently evolving amphibious frams. Actually, I had not called them
amphibious, but there is water and land in my world so...

A random heightfield map given by;

size 200
r 200 200 7586
water -5
edges teleport

Selecting for velocity mostly, with occaisonal tweaks for body size /
vertical position (To try and get away from worms and Frams that go downhill
rapidly...)

It is a steep rough terrain, with some 'shallow flat' land near wtaer edges
in places, giving possibilities for movement from water to land.

After 1 billion steps, The most succesfull Fram is a worm..., here it is;

LAMX[| 1 :4.094]LMX[@ 1 :2.250][|!:0.028,=:690.971,0:3.979]X[| T :-0.983,-1
:-5.455]

The most succesfull 'large' fram is also an 8 stick long worm.

I have just changed the genetic morphology to be more in favour of junctions
[] in an attempt to help along the creation of non-worms.

Details of the experiment can be found at

As an aside, is there some inherent benefit to having 's' modifiers - does
low stamina reduce energy costs as with 'm'?
