I had an idea this weekend to write a program that used an evolutionary algorithm to solve a problem. In this case, just turn a random image into a target image. It isn’t anything fancy, and I did learn a thing or two about the process while trying to figure out how to go about doing it.
Wikipedia had some info on the subject, and most of it didn’t make a whole lot of sense until after I started experimenting with the code. The program I am running right now could use a few optimizations. The fitness algorithm is too b
