2 D floacking Evolution using an Implicit Fitness Function

The basic idea is to evolve flocking behaviour in a population of 20 creatures using an 'implicit fitness function': Individuals will not be evaluated by a simple function, but will be killed and replaced when they are caught by a hard-wired predator. Each creature has 8 directional inputs that can sense where other creatures are, and where the predator is. A creature's controller is genetically specified by an 8*8 weight matrix. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. ## Platform Linux (under red hat 7.3) ## Deadline information Must be done by 17 January
