Thanks for all the submissions. It's really interesting to see how the different levels breed different traits, and how the best cars are a mix of hand-made and evolved designs, or both. First I want to highlight a special car that broke the simulation. It's Plato in the cave or Neo in the matrix. I love cars like this because they highlight bugs I can fix. If two adjacent angles (after summation) were different by pi, then it would try to create a triangle with no area. In older versions this was fine, but with the new box2d library, this would break the simulation. The car would fall through the floor and recieve the maximum score on any level in a few seconds. I've since patched it to detect this and nudge the angles a little. Thanks to Michael Boland. It evolved on its own too!!
