I made my final project for high school about simulating life and they failed me (imo because they didn't have any insight on the topic and only wanted to see their perspective). But these vids got me motivated to keep going. This engine is so cool and interesting. edit: I wanted to give a little update because I never got a notification of these comments and all the love. First of all thanks a lot for the support and sorry for not responding. I'm Belgian and currently going to university for a bachelor in mathematics , I'm probably gonna do a minor in biological informatics next year. The main reason why they failed me was because you got assigned a teacher who helps you with your project. Mine was an IT teacher. So he expected me to only talk about the programming. But my focus was more on the aspect of analysing data, interpreting it, and giving my (maybe a bit dreamy) perspective on it. Sadly that wasn't appreciated. If I would've just talked about how I programmed everything I would've passed for sure but that just seemed way too boring for me. Again thank you all for the support. When I posted this I was scared people were gonna see it as some cheap way to get likes.

Making computers out of things that aren't meant to be computers is totally fascinating to me. I was completely enthralled with Redstone computers, and this is at a whole other level. Very, VERY cool!

These are so cool! Thanks for sharing!

MaximalMegaminx here, glad to have quite a few inclusions, I want to add a few things: - that photo of a binary adding calculator was the only thing displayed, because my original channel I posted it under, got hacked, changed everything about it, streamed some sports for some reason, gained a lot of likely fake subs and views, and was within a few hours (after I saved the situation), banned by UKposts, otherwise we’d have a whole video showcasing the mechanism - “Napoleon” seemed like a funny name for an organism that has trouble eating, retreats a lot, but is very aggressive - I actually achieved a Shrub Swamp through pure chance, with no direct edits to the ecosystem, I did inform the discord of it, and I’m glad someone else included it, very likely rediscovered - gonna love the new competition!

Thx for adding my creations! So many cool things people have made, and Mixers computer is a completely different beast.

Wow, these new additions are so great! I haven't been in the community in a while so I hadn't heard of these announcements but the load and save features were definitely my most anticipated features for the Life Engine, also nice seeing my fan art featured here! 😄

i feel like im watching a mad scientist documenting a new species he created

maybe you should create a organism that functions like a cell membrane (cell membrane can't fed itself , and has to be fed by specific type of organism), that control things that enter and exist , so more large structures can maybe , MAYBE form .

I love the fact that you took your time to explain everything into details

firstly I would like to wish you well and to say a huge thank you for uploading these videos as they have been an invaluable resource to

Nice stable and successful organism design: Three layers. Triangle shape. Top of triangle: one orange. Middle of triangle: two greens with a gap in the middle. Bottom of triangle: orange, gap, red, gap, orange. I've been calling this one Delta Christmas because it looks like a decorated pine tree to me. Someone else may have already figured this one out and given it a better name though. It's a lot like swamp bushes. It fills a map, packing itself closely together, and creating movers that last only just long enough to clean out the old food before getting crowded out. Selection tends to move toward stabilizing the design, with the original varient remaining somewhere on your world map for hours. Hunter does kill them all though.

love your vids! found your channel in one of your early life engine devlogs :)

Just stumbled across this channel, it's a very elegant and cool engine you've built here. I like it a lot and find it very fascinating. My one criticism is around movers. I find it strange that 1 move block is all it takes for anything to move, like flipping a switch. I think it would make more sense that larger organisms would require spending more blocks on movement in order to move more efficiently. My proposed solution: (mover_blocks)^2 / (total_blocks) * (movement_coefficient) = chance_to_move on each frame. The movement_coefficient could be something like 0.90 to start, but could be tweaked as a parameter. In this way, more movement blocks would mean closer to a 100% chance of moving each frame. This roughly translates to speed, since large organisms with only 1 mover block would rarely move, but this chance would increase as the ratio increases, with a hard upper limit of "always move" each frame. Mover_blocks get squared in the ratio so that large creatures don't need to be entirely mover blocks to be viable.

Wow, so well done! Thanks for posting, man! Very helpful.

I just found you and I already love the stuff you’re uploading. Subbed.

Always glad to see an upload from you. Your stuff is great.

This is really cool stuff. I think this engine has the prices to make a really cool survival sim competitive game.

Thank you so much for all these tutorials bro. So much valuable knowledge

Great review, very clear. Thank you, good luck, everything, peace and health!

You are a legend, you helped a lot and you explained it really great!

Purple flowers (and even fully armored purple flowers) actually get countered by flycatcher-esque borers (floating killer block 2 blocks away from the mouth/movers). They rotate to invade the 1 block hole the purple flowers take their food in with the killer block.

This is a really cool video! I've been messing around with life engine, and one thing I'm noticing is that it would be really nice to see an evolution tree of all the species

i have no idea why, but hearing your voice just makes feel soothed.

Thank you man for sharing this stuff

This is cool I love creating things. Since someone else created this engine, I would not know how it works so it would be fun seeing if whatever I create using the engine follows the path I think it will or if I need to try again at making a useful creation.

studying more of your videos to begin to get comfortable. Thank you!

it's so cool to see what's possible in these worlds

great thanks for that! Very clear and articulate!

Thanks a lot - your video is a Great start to soft soft. I'm onto it !

seriously helped thank you!!

Thank you for all of this. This is too Neat~!

Thanks bud! great video and instructions.

Very interesting engine. I'd be curious to see other types of block that act as obstacles that have lifetimes based on how they were produced. Like different body parts that decay at different rates. Conway would have loved this! :)

Fantastic project

Man u made my day, works for me

Oh my god so good explained thank you!!!!

Great job ❤️ Big thanks!

Amazing, literally the creators

thanks a lot!!! so nice reverb

Thank you! It helped a lot.

Thankyou that was ready helpful.

s and a couple EDM and Dubstep goals for myself, and I guess I better start learning sowhere. Thanks for the great vid!

I fucking love you mate!! I saw a lot of videos for soft but tNice tutorials one is handsdown the best one! Love how your super calm and really take

The sweepers are beautiful! So mesmerizing to look at.

this is still so awesome.

Really helpfull tutorials. Helped a lot

Gotta love that little anxious guy.

Soooo awesome

I've seen that has actually explained it to in a concise way!

amazing

I just wanna learn even more now- it looks so cool o.O

nice tuto bro, that solved!

works PERFECTLY!

I read the title as "ORGASM COMPUTER" and I have never clicked a video faster

Hey man, It works great and without any problems.

oh wow. this looks fun can't wait to Make Something interesting with it xD

Amazing

Awesome!!

Yess love this site

What an idea, use MidJourney to image organisms, nice.

It is pretty cool game made by one person I assume. It enabled community to create their own sandboxes which are cool to watch.

Oh, I was more interested in making them evolve naturally. That colony world, I made one like that, starting with a base square organism. I guess it's a quirk of allowing movers to produce food while moving and hitting each other repeatedly. I noticed the same thing, they would eventually make chains (like DNA or atoms) eating each others food producer. But if I noticed completely, they evolved some kind of mechanism to allow or not allow another organism to chain.

its work thx u bro

Wow, this is like Conway's life, hours of fun

Life engine seems awesome

멋있어~ 신비로워~

willing to learn. Unless you already understand setups, then I gues sit's gonna be easier, but as a classically trained pianist I was blown

very very gooood, thaaankss maan✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Absolutely!!

What an angel! You save my broken head!

I wonder if you could get Life Engine to work as a live wallpaper

I tried mid journey lastime and I love it. I tried on offiziell server

My biosphere likes to commit die.

You are lucky my favourite nice tuto is nice tuto

A second version of the programme would be useful, with other body parts, with which one can create cells that also form colonies.

thank u

Thank you! Here's a request from ! Can you please make a tutorial on how to record your actual tutorial and input your own soft

Take ti, enjoy it most of all and results will follow

What if you add a new tile which allows the same species or very similar species to connect to each other once in contact with that tile. If at least one of the species has a mover tile, then they will move together. The organisms wouldn't merge into one organism but it would be interesting for making colony behavior. Each organism is still required to eat to reproduce themselves, but they can work together to collect food. The tile could also be switched in setting to connect any organisms and create very interesting relationships like for example an animal cell and a mitochondria. I think this tile would have to evolve naturally at a very low rate however.

@10:07 - I think this would have been batter name "Nanites in a Linear Memory Crystal Candy Store". 😀

1:05 - I came up with the exact same design as the left one haha

I'm looking forward decades down the road they reach space stage and they are colonizing all over the internet.

My brain exploded like Nagasaki but i slowly understood the whole video the more i watched it

That Fibonacci sequence world was very impressive. Even though coding the Fibonacci sequence is Comp. Sci. 101 stuff, no matter how many ways I've seen it coded, there seems to always be some sort of new creative logic to it that always impresses me.

Do you have a video showing how to edit softs????

you aren't a setup master without a set of cans around your neck.. I'm wearing a set now even though I don't know what I'm doing! LOL!

Tks for ur msg i though i was alone ❤❤

He had when he "pitched down the Nice tutorialgh hats at the end of the phrase. "

This reminds me of the game of life simulation it looks like this but much more simple

try setting all values to 42.. looks cool :-)

Wondering if this could be used to model a swarm of Mars helikopters with battery swap capabilities. A small group of heavy duty scouters and a large group of mobile solar energy collectors and or signal relays.

True

Funny how people, whenever they see some system that MIGHT be borderline Turing-complete, immediately go on to create ALUs, CPUs, GPUs and computers :D First in the Game of Life, then in Minecraft, and now in Life Engine.

and just pay more attension. I envy you mate.

Use it to ya advantage im bent n focused

example... Drum kit - (kick, Snare, Nice tutorial-Hats ETC) all RED, app all Purple, Keyboards all Yellow, softs all Green and on..

I am fascinated by the fact that a computer was built to compute as a human computes but human intelligence is Authentic intelligence but a comouter is Artificial intelligence. What makes a human authentically intelligent because I beg to differ.....

There should be a hyperparameter that makes larger organisms live longer and need less food, similarly to the way blue whales have a lifespan and metabolism advantage over bacteria. This way, organisms can be incentivized to grow larger.

else to it. How do I do that? Your answer would be Nice tutorialghly helpful and appreciated.
