Genetic Color Matcher

This is a project made to explore genetic algorithms in programing. The main idea is to create a grid of rectangles (DNA) each with a random HEX color (Genes), and then have the grid of colors get closer to a target member with each new generation.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine.

Installing

All you need is Java installed on your computer and the latest version of Processing installed aswell.

Deployment

You can change

boolean sort = true;

To

boolean sort = false;

And vice versa, to toggle the sorted or random display of colors.

Built With

• Processing - The Java framework used
• Oracle Java - Jave SE Development Kit 8

Authors
