Creepy Crawlies: An experiment in procedural animation

[Muscar]

This is a neat little program that lets you draw claws, bones and muscles and then control them with your keyboard or let the program automatically find the fastest speed the creature can do.

The program is only made for fun and is full of bugs and glitches, at the moment the max amount of muscles are 4 but that also provides a fun challenge.
NOTE: it usually works with more than 4 muscles, but takes longer to evolve and has a way higher risk of crashing.

Here's some fun ones to try:

ahaha

Doesn't work on my computer?

If I try to test a little guy nothing there and none of the controls move anything (as there is nothing to move.

And then generating an animation goes really slow and the top speed is always -1000000 or something

Restart the program and make something simple. Usually if you make something that won't work, nothing shows up and nothing will work till you restart it.

[Oppy]

Too many claws can fuck it up.

You have to generate an animation first, if you just click "test creature" right away, it doesn't move at all.

Hahahahah. I made a hand looking thing. It walks 10 feet before it slams into the ground and gets stuck

The Simpsons is awesome.

I just made another one. It ran off the screen. :sigh:

[Frostbyte113]

The fastest i got mine to go was 945.61 px/s

[Saheil]

Holy shit. I was trying to make something that would actually walk, rather than hop, when it dropped down into crab position and scuttled across the screen

It's currently at 592.78 px/s

I made one that did -10000,00 px/s :smug:

Just made one that went from 53 to 440 between generation 4 and 5:buddy:

[MutantBadger]

For some reason, all the ones I make act like fricken horses.

I think I broke it.

Make sure to run it in compatability mode as well as an admin if your getting errors.

I think I made some kind of demon inchworm. It doesn't stop or raise itself off the ground, and its current top speed is 739.43 px/s.
