Show HN: Decided to play god this morning, so I built an agent civilisation

at a pub in london, 2 weeks ago - I asked myself, if you spawned agents into a world with blank neural networks and zero knowledge of human existence — no language, no economy, no social templates — what would they evolve on their own?

would they develop language? would they reproduce? would they evolve as energy dependent systems? what would they even talk about?

so i decided to make myself a god, and built WERLD - an open-ended artificial life sim, where the agent's evolve their own neural architecture.

Werld drops 30 agents onto a graph with NEAT neural networks that evolve their own topology, 64 sensory channels, continuous motor effectors, and 29 heritable genome traits. communication bandwidth, memory decay, aggression vs cooperation — all evolvable. No hardcoded behaviours, no reward functions. - they could evolve in any direction.

Pure Python, stdlib only — brains evolve through survival and reproduction, not backprop. There's a Next.js dashboard ("Werld Observatory") that gives you a live-view: population dynamics, brain complexity, species trajectories, a narrative story generator, live world map.

thought this would be more fun as an open-source project!

can't wait to see where this could evolve - i'll be in the comments and on the repo.

Show HN: News Pulse – Real-time global news feed, 475 sources, no algorithm

Former investigative reporter turned developer. I built a simple breaking-news monitor because tracking events across platforms is a mess now that Twitter’s unreliable.

Bluesky is the backbone (a fraction of twitter, but still lots of journalists and OSINT folks), plus RSS, Telegram, Reddit, YouTube and Mastodon. Everything is one chronological feed with no algorithm, clear source labels, and lightweight activity detection when a region spikes above baseline (frequency math, not LLMs).

But we do have a (hopefully non-obtrusive) AI-generated recent/post summary.

Been building for a while, figured I'd post in light of today's events. Can't promise it will survive or is good, any feedback appreciated.

Built with Next.js 15 + TypeScript + Tailwind on Vercel. Real coded + supervised vibe coded. Free, no login, signups, ect
