Derp Bikes
 

Here is a game/program that uses an algorithm to randomly create tracks and bikes. You vote up the bike designs that work and vote down the ones that don't and watch your creation evolve over time.

After 20 trials, a new generation is started using randomly selected traits from the highest performing 'cars' in the previous generation.


When you start, 20 random vehicles are generated using random blocks for mass, shocks, and wheels. In generation 0, each 'car' is uniformly colored as to represent its own particular set of genes. The game has garnered the nickname 'Derp Bikes' as the game tends to generate wholly impractical vehicles in the first few generations.

You can change the mutation rate at the bottom as well.
