3D Shooter, moving through endless tunnel with creatures (enemies).
Mouse movements for aiming
Click or tap to Shoot
Sound effects
Self-running mode (`--self-run`) with evolving pilot aim/fire policy
Fixed simulation clock (30 ms tick, display decoupled)
GA-controlled creature motion and body structure
Motion genes for player seek / shot dodge / strafe / range / lead
Survival fitness from time, near-misses, and threat; size-scaled hit radius
Persistent evolution archive under `evo/` (generation, mean, diversity)
GA based logic controlling motion depending on position relative to player, bullets (`seek`, `dodge`, `reaction`, `strafe`, `range`, `lead`)
Appearance / limb structure evolving from survival fitness (heritable `limbs`, `limb_len`, `fork`, `twist`)
Optional human assessment overlay: `evo/assess.txt` (`* <bonus>` or `<bonus> <genome line>`)
Even with low FPS the bullets and creatures do well behave
Permanent storage of information from evolution
make
./TunnelStrike
./TunnelStrike --self-run
Headless simulation / archive replay seed:
make sim
./TunnelStrike-sim
./TunnelStrike --evo-verify /tmp/ts-game-evo 18000
./TunnelStrike --self-run --headless --evo-dir /tmp/ts-self-run 18000
Headless sim uses an isolated archive under /tmp and checks genome roundtrip, GA operators, sensed motion, then 18000 ticks.
./TunnelStrike --evo-verify runs the same World tick/evolve path as the game (no window) against a chosen evo/ directory.
--self-run replaces mouse aim with an evolving pilot (intercept lead, sticky target, ray fire gate). Policy is stored in evo/pilot.txt and evo/pilot.jsonl. --self-run --headless verifies that the pilot generation advances.
Evolution state is written to evo/generation.jsonl, evo/pool.txt and evo/snapshot.txt.
A pool file is loaded automatically on the next start.
