HTML5 Genetic Cars

I've been iterating over sequential seeds looking for one that contains the most downhill terrain, so far the best is: 24427169 - it descends very rapidly in the later part of the track. I'll keep this running over night and post results.

Edit: 71044092 beats that (declines 47 units in the distance of the track, which is 220 units long).

The problem is that once your car makes it to "the end", it keeps falling forever, not losing any forward momentum, so the level never ends.

thanks, I'll try your level. I saw a really cool looking car on the world "sail" after 1219 generations https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14074521/genetic-cars.pn...

I used your seed and my cars have fallen off the track...

Yeah after 220 platforms the terrain on all seeds ends, which is a shame.

My best car seemed to get past 300 before the road ran out: http://imgur.com/f1Gr25d

Although I think this was because it fell off the edge and kept moving forwards as it fell.
