= Polyworld
{wiki=Polyworld}
Polyworld is a computer simulation environment developed to model and study evolutionary processes, particularly in entities resembling virtual organisms. Created by researcher Stephen L. Smith in the 1990s, Polyworld incorporates concepts from evolutionary biology, artificial life, and complex systems to simulate how simple agents can evolve and adapt over time. In Polyworld, each organism is represented as a virtual creature with a genotype that encodes its traits, which affect its behavior and survival.
