Usage

• Clone the repo

  git clone git@github.com:sujay-ee/rust-genetic-rockets.git
  cd rust-genetic-rockets
  

• Run the simulation

  cargo run --release
  

• To update the simulation configurations use the configs file located at src/configs.rs
• To update the map layout edit the file at assets/map.txt. 0 indicates a wall, 1 indicates a no-wall block

Experimental branches

• Flood fill for rocket fitness (flood-fill-fitness).
