genobots

Visualize how genetic algorithm come to play while seeking a target.

A high-level description of algorithm given below

1. Yellow rectangles are the Bots and magenta circle is the Target where we need all the bots to reach (eventually).
2. A population of bots initially spawned without any sense of direction.
3. In each generation, based on each bot's closeness to target (magenta circle) a fitness score is assigned to bots.
4. Two bots in a generation is picked to reproduce next generation bot and each generation reproduces a new populatation for bots for next generation. Bots with higher fitness is set on higher probability to be picked for reproduction.
5. One percent of time a mutation is introduced while reproducing the bot.
6. Newly evolved bots continues to appear in each generation until a generation comes where all the bots learns to hits the target.
