This is a 4-part video (total of about 20-ish minutes). If you're interested in computer modeling of simple "creature" evolution, you'll probably like this.

They guy's voice is hilarious, too. Kinda reminds me of a gentler version of the "honey badger" narrator.

I think I was just as impressed with the fact that this guy created this whole system. I don't even know enough to know what I don't know about this kind of thing.

I was showing that to my boy to try explain evolution
(but he got bored though  ;D )

That's just a day in the life of a high school biology teacher.
