Is there a way to save the current world seed?

I have a layout that is defeating all cars even after 50 generations and counting. Would love to keep on testing against this world.

Unless you actually enter a seed string it generates a 256 byte random string each time you open it for the first time. I used firefox debugger to retrieve the string, it is stored in a variable called "floorseed".

Have people actually had the course completed? I've been using 'genghisKhan' as my track seed and they always stop around 2/3 to 3/4 of the way it seems.

The "course" always gets longer. No matter how long it currently is.

No, it stops at around ~220 after which the car just falls into the void.

I got to around 200 without hacking after about 300 generations but then the terrain just gets too much for any of the little guys.

So if you want to beef them up a little, type this in javascript console:

    motorSpeed = 50;
    wheelMaxRadius = 2.0;
    chassisMaxAxis = 2.5;

and hit New Population

Oh man...some hilarious iterations there. Especially funny after playing with the normal version for a while. All of a sudden: "PARDON ME HUGE WHEELS HAULIN' ASS COMIN' THROUGH"

I can't even see the track now.

Thank you for this, this is the car that I got! http://imgur.com/376PB6X

So great ahahahaha

deep man.

At first all my successful cars on genghisKhan looked like knight's helmets, now they are experimenting with looking like shrimp.

The world seed is the string in the text input.
