Suggestion: Family Tree

[Ormek]

It would be fun to see the pedigree of a car and eventually the whole evolution history.

I think about something like:
1. the simulator logs away every generation and for each car a reference to its parents (maybe even the cross-over points and the mutations).
2. a browser application that takes that log file and display the cars and their ancestries.

@Ryan: Is it feasible to extend the simulator with regard to step 1?

I someone volunteering to implement step 2?

I would really, really love that. It's all I've been thinking about since I've discovered this toy a few weeks back.

That would be an awesome addition. Possibly even set it up to save as an image.

As you can see, I'm a Johnny-come-lately to BoxCar, but the Family Tree ... the images of even the first gen cars in a run, This would be so cool.
(I presume the colors of line segments and triangles in successive generations reflect parentage?)
Does the system save the chromosome from each gen in a run?

Does every car 'mate'? Even the total losers in each round?
