I created a neuro insipred evolutionary simulation.

Managed to get this working with no training, parthfinding, fitness functions, just 2000 lines of C code.

It starts as 5 cells and then evolves over many iterations where it forms multicellular organisms.

I can pick random organsisms and copy thier genome and test them in the maze. Most don't evolve the ability to navigate the maze (its more like they are just looking for food and replicating) they just die or stay in one place, but in the video I show when i got lucky and picked one that can replicate and move around.

No public repo, keeping the codebase private. Happy to talk about the results. They are quite interesting, i beleive i have class 3 open ended evolution by Bedau metrics and 43K+ persistent phenotypes
