Genetic Programming in Processing
Jun 10th, 2010, 10:16am
 
Hi,

I am interested in looking at Genetic Programming (GP) as a way of extending Genetic algorithms. For reference in case people want to know what Genetic Programming is:
http://www.genetic-programming.com/gpanimatedtutorial.html

You are evolving computer programs and not just parameters within it as in Genetic Algorithms. In GP you would cross breed programs - by swapping nodes (sections of the program) with other programs.

I have found a GP example in Java:
http://jgprog.sourceforge.net/

However, how would you recommend that I go about trying to create a version in processing? I have no java experience and so using ecclipse would mean that I would still not understand how the Java works in this GP java example. I guess the obvious answer is for me to learn java Smiley

But I wondered if anyone had any tips on attempting to do GP in processing first as I am pretty new to coding.

Thank you.

seems to me to be way too ambitious for someone new to a programming language.
