Framsticks

Hello, all users!

I name me as a newbie, as I have framsticks since a month or so. I was able
to create creatures very soon, but they didn't evolute into something
worthfull. Here an example:

My starting creature was:

MMMWWWWXMMMWWWWX(,,WWWWX[S],WWWWX[S],,,WWWWXWWWWX,MMMWWWWX[N,-2:1,-1:1,0:1,1
:1][|-1:-.8][|0:.1,4:.8]MMMX[|-1:.8]MMMX[|-1:.8]MMMX[|-1:.8]MMMX[|-1:.8]MMMX
[|-1:.8]X[|-1:.8]RRMMMX(llllX,XX))

After about 6 Mio. steps I got something like that:

X(X[S],MX[N,0:2.544][N,0:.8](llllX(,,X[|-1:.5,0:1.136]WX[|-1:6.925,0:-1.133]
WX[|-1:0.888,0:.5]RRX[|-1:.5,0:-1.793](llllX,X)),WX[|-7:.1]X[|-1:.1]XRRXWX[|
-1:2.071,0:.5](X[@,-5:1]lllX[|-2:.1]XRRXI(lX),,)))

I used the following parameters:

Parameters: Gene pool capacity: 200; Delete genotypes: only the worst;
Simulated Creatures:3; Creation height:0

Selection: Unchanged:20; Mutated: 60; Crossed over: 2; Minimal similarity:
0; Selection rule: Tournament (2 genotypes)

Fitness: Costant: 0; Life span: 10000; Velocity: 10000; Body parts: 5; Body
joints: 5; Brain neurons: 10000; Brain connections: 10000; Distance: 10000;
Vertical position: 0; Vertical velocity: 0; Criteria normalization: no;
Similarity speciation: no

Energy: Starting energy: 2000; Idle metabolism: 1; Automatic feeding: 30;
foods energy: 200; foods genotype: no; Ingestion multiplyer: 1; Aging time:
0

Gene pool: Genotypes: Fitnes formula: return 0.0+this.distance*10000.0;
Scale fitness: yes; Shift coefficient: 1; Scaling coefficient: 1

The other datas were unchanged from normality.

My world is: Type: Flat surface; Size: 70; Water level: 20; Boundaries: none

Here you have my complete experiment. Can anyone help me? What did I do
wrong? As you see, my intention is to create "animals" swimming around and
searching for food. But every creature only drifts through the water, head
up and tail down. That's it, nothing moves.
