Maybe I just can't see the big picture (pun++) but why limit the simulations to the eye? Many other senses are simultaneously working for survival. I'm not aware of anything that just uses the eye for survival. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense

That's very true and is also an area of interest. The number of possible animals that can be evolved increases substantially with more parameters, so adding more sensors/types of sensors makes the problem even more difficult. Also our animals are simple balls, where most intelligent animals have arms, legs, so on. So modeling more would definitely be interesting, too!
