When using a genetic algorithm, it is important to carefully set the population size and the mutation and crossover rate. A small population size, or a high mutation rate, might prevent the ...

If the mutation is closer, it becomes the new sequence. The final image he shows looks pretty good after 904,314 iterations. [prunesquallor] pointed out a genetic algorithm project of his own.

Genetic algorithms are ... represent the reproduction and crossover seen in biology, whereby a child takes on certain characteristics of its parents. Mutations represent biological mutation ...
