Is this based at all on the HTML5 genetic cars project submitted the other day?

The page give credits to the various projects.

> * Loosely based on BoxCar2D, but written from scratch, only using the same physics engine (box2d). seedrandom.js written by David Bau. (thanks!)*

An old very popular page is this one (http://www.qubit.devisland.net/ga/index.html)

This is an improvement over the original with Distributed Computing. The more players there are, the faster the best car is discovered. We want as many players as possible to find the BEST CAR faster than ever possible before.
