Darwinism + geneticism + two-wheeled vehicles = ... awesomeness.

I like the new version. I'm running it non-stop with the 8-wheels-max setting - it is hilarious.

I am annoyed through that only some of the wheels seem to be 'powered'. Some touch the ground at times but don't propel it at all, making me slide back down on ramps after a few amusing flips. :(

Every time that happens, in my mind I hear the muted trumpet of disappointment: wah-wah-waaaahhh

This seems to make a great case for Intelligent Design. ;) I'm sure after a few minutes of manually tweaking I could get my motorcycle to fare a lot better than it's doing after hours of evolutionary genetic mutations. :P

True, but could you design a better motorcycle than one resulting from 1 million+ years of evolving 8)

Show me a motorcycle that's been evolving for 1+ million years and I'll let you know. :P

To me it does seem all the wheels are powered, but inertia, friction, gravity, etc mean some times a wheel doesn't seem to cut for a slope. Personally I'd like to see them being given more time to recover after sliding back down a hill. I've seen a few look like they were about to start motoring up the hill but a killed off because the inertia from the previous slide down it still lingered just a bit.

I imagine though the author was careful to avoid any loops where a car never actually progressed, but also never got killed off.
