Perfect! Thanks!

Heh, interesting.
I was kinda confused about things at the beginning; my cockroaches did nothing but bumble around beneath the drain, and nothing I did seemed to change them.
Then I came to understand how it's more of a gradual process, and that the "priorities" really just selected the cockroach closest to what I wanted to start the next generation (I think?), and thus they became slightly more useful each time.

Within three levels I had them trained, willing to follow in clusters any trail of food I'd leave for them; I could pretty much just blaze through the levels.  The only hang-up occurred when I came to a level where they had to eat poison to get through.

Anyway, this seems like it can be a pretty compelling concept.
It also seems like it's missing something, but I can't put my finger on it...

It's absolutely hilarious when my cockroaches mutate to become afraid of food, or when I tell it to go 100 generations only to find every single bug wildly spinning in place.

Fifth, the priorities means exactly that! And if you ever put your finger on what is missing, would please tell me? Because I fell the same thing!
and Noyb, thats what I love about the evolution, it always surprises you, i made pinball roaches one time, very funny.

Thanks (a lot) for playing!
