walkingAI VS matter-js

Bob was created using matter.js for the physics and a very simple neural network, with no hidden layers or biases. I did not use any Machine Learning libraries for this; I did it from scratch in JavaScript (see ml.js). This uses very simple evolution: Bobs die if their head goes below the red line, and the ones that move furthest may reproduce and evolve. Also, the activation function is a sine wave because it works best that way. Surprisingly, after hours of intense coding and tweaking, Bob actually learned how to run and skip (I call it running and skipping, it's not exact)! This project is of the most complex ones I have ever done, and I am honestly shocked that I got it working. However, I can't stop it from falling after around 4 steps. This is from a competition between me and n8progrmas…

Do you think this worked so cleanly because there is a tutorial similar to this and its in the dataset?

If you don't want to create your own physics engine, there are also existing ones like matter.js.

A physics engine for the basic stuff (colisions with the terrain, gravity, rigid body mechanics, suspension springs...) would be great and I think Matter.js it's a great option

Another option is to add a third-party physics library such as Matter.js, although setting up and integrating the physics library can be tricky. If you need physics in your game, especially more complex physics effects, Phaser is a better choice.

I have created a demonstration for liquid (or gooey) effect on HTML Canvas using Matter.js and SVG Filters.

I recently came across this library: https://github.com/liabru/matter-js

This was a bold faced lie. Matter.js has no continuous collision detection. You wasted so much of my time I hope you are mildly inconvenienced in the near future! https://github.com/liabru/matter-js/issues/5

https://github.com/liabru/matter-js/issues/243 was a bit confusing. The solutions in this thread don't seem to work for me, and i cant find any information elsewhere.

Over half of the source code is just making the robots exist. If you haven't used matter.js before, you can download it here. You can read the whole documentation here, but the functions we will need are:
