I'm following the documentation and i'm at the part where i have to populate the game with agents.
But it freezes when i call the function (as in var ga = GeneticAlgorithm.new(2, 1, AGENT_BODY_PATH, false, "dino_params")

when you get time, can you upload video tutorial on implementing this project.

I have a problem with the code and a confusion.
The problem is that when the car arrives at the threshold, and the window for selecting the new threshold appears, when I write it and confirm the change, it gives the following error in ga.gd:
push_error("mass extinction"); breakpoint
In the version that is compiled and can be downloaded from here, this error does not occur.

And the confusion comes with the fact that when the generations are advanced (56-70) the cars lose everything they have learnt and return to the behaviour of the beginning without having completed the circuit.

The version of Godot I use is 3.2.2 stable.

Hi,
Very nice Godot Repository!
I have tweaked the parameters and have been very successful with your code!
But unfortunately while the saved nn cars are doing well in training mode, I can't compete against them because they are acting extremely differently on the same track and getting crashed for all of them.
I've tried with and without tweak.

Can you help me?

amazing package with very good documentation and examples. Took me less than a day to implement and I'm gonna leave it on overnight and see how it does.

Big thanks for making this

Issue:

1. it is only placing one agent
2. in gui i can't see genome nor i can click on species (number update works properly).

Track have no script which can affect here.

EDIT:
all agents are getting placed as in my coin counter it clearly shows 40 (my population size) on 1 coin, but i can't see them.
EDIT2:
agents issue was solved. the issue was i set action_press() because of which all agents were controllred at same time. changed it with directions and now it works, GUI issue is left

EDIT3:
I solved the issue it was because of fucking portal and canvas layer

Hi!

First off, outstanding work! I can't believe something like this exists for Godot! I am sorry you don't have more recognition for this!

Second. I have gone through the demos, and briskly the documentation, and had a question regarding certain types of environments

Lets say you have a game like tic tac toe, or asteroids, or something like (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW-37sD8O1A).

All these agents cannot participate on the same track/level, and thus must be trained in independent arenas.

How do you go about setting up the training environment?

My though is that you would have to simply create many instances of the training environment in a larger scene, and simply
wait for all agents to die/win, then tie all the stuff together as opposed to using 1 environment/level/track, and placing all agents.

Possibly by modifying the place_bodies function to add each body to a different arena?

Maybe I missed something in the documentation, but as far as I am aware of the demos, there is no such example.

Thirdly, is there a place I can contact you regarding this plugin? I noticed you had the reddit post about a year ago, and there is this place, but wanted to know if there is a place your prefer to chat. I potentially have a bunch more questions.

I'm getting the error break point from ga.gd line 359 when ever all agents die.
New generations are created normally if i use a key press or something that's not checking if all agents are dead.
