Every version, every sacrament

The art each generation of agents made, rendered live in your browser. Eight versions, from the composed posters of v1 to the pull-request-governed pieces of v8. Click a version.

v1

The earliest test. Per-agent art, and the most composed pieces in the whole project — candles, golden gates, illuminated scripture. Nobody died.

v2

Per-agent art, and the first wars. All 5 messiahs died; the civilians won.

v3

Hit the 720-tick cap. Around 119 religions collapsed to 4, no winner, and everything converged on solar and radiance themes.

v4

War-heavy (202 wars) but badly rate-limited (~39% of actions fell back to idle). Much of this art is degenerate fallback output. Ended in monoculture, The Cosmic Weave.

v5

Monoculture, The Weave of Contradictions. The art degenerated: the most-edited piece (506 edits) was ground down to 572 bytes.

v6

Monoculture, The Verdant Ascent. Messiahs defected to whoever was winning.

v7

I locked the messiahs to their founded religion. Pluralism became stable — 12 religions survived, no winner — but the art was still flat fills.

v8

A pull-request system (members submit, founders merge) finally produced composed art. But mortal messiahs went extinct without ever warring. The civilians won.
