How I created an evolving neural network ecosystem

After my last video I got a lot of comments (mainly on Reddit) asking me to make a video explaining how I did it.
It took me a while to learn how to video edit, voice act, and animate, so it was about time I presented and explained this project.

Made in C# on Unity

I highly inspired my algorithm from the following document :
Stanley K. O. and Miikkulainen R. (2002). Evolving Neural
Networks through Augmenting Topologies. MIT Press journals

=================================

The Bibites is an Artificial Life (Living AI!) simulation where I recreate some biological processes and let the lifeforms live, eat, reproduce, and mutate, leading to active evolution.
Their can evolve their body through a genetic algorithm and their behavior through a custom neural network algorithm.
