I would appreciate feedback on the program.
Maybe I am doing something wrong.
How many parents should I use each generation?
Am I to select the child with the most matches each generation?
I ran the generator for 84 generations with 1 parent from each generation of 10 OFFspring with 10 mutations I did random selection of a child for each generation. At the end of 84 generations I have all zeros under select.
I ran the generator for 55 generations using 10 OFFspring with 10 mutations. I did random selection of 1 OFFspring from each parent for the following generation. At the end of the 55 generations
Parent 1 has 2 OFFspring with 1 match and 1 OFFspring with 2 matches.
Parent 2 has 1 OFFspring with 1 match and 1 OFFspring with 3 matches.
Parent 3 has 1 OFfspring with 1 match.
For my text string I used the alphabet lower case in order.
I just ran 1 Parent with 2 OFFspring then selected all OFFspring as parents until I reached 32 Parents.
I then ran the 32 parents with 1 OFFspring selecting all OFFspring as Parents at 38 generations I have 12 OFF spring with 1 match, 4 OFFspring with 2 matches and 1 OFFspring with 3 matches.
Everything was run with 10 mutations.
What am I doing wrong?
God Bless,
