Genetic Algorithms - Basics explained Part 1

[leolol]

This tutorial aims to demystify the intriguing topic of 'Genetic Algorithms' and explain how they work.

The tutorial is aimed at all skill levels, so don't feel intimidated!

This first part is a prerequisite for Part 2, in which we use the knowledge from Part 1 to program a genetic algorithm in Java to solve a particular problem.

I didn't click on this thread for a while because I totally though it said "Generic Algorithms".

This is actually a very interesting read, and I am planning on implementing the example described, then working my way up to maybe a predator-prey simulator.
