This project explores genetic algorithms running with Brainfuck.

Backed by my own Brainfuck interpreter github.com/fxnn/brainfuck, these genetic algorithms modify Brainfuck programs according to a target function.

The sources contain

• a general framework for building genetic algorithms (cf. de.fxnn.genetics) and
• an implementation for Brainfuck programs (cf. de.fxnn.brainfuckongenetics).

Among the Brainfuck implementation are

• fitness functions (cf. de.fxnn.brainfuckongenetics.fitness),
• operators for modifying / mutating Brainfuck programs (cf. de.fxnn.brainfuckongenetics.operators) and
• an interactive commandline interface (cf. de.fxnn.brainfuckongenetics.cli).

Please note that you need to mvn install the github.com/fxnn/brainfuck project first, as it's not published in a public Maven repository.

$ git clone https://github.com/fxnn/brainfuck
$ cd brainfuck
$ mvn install
$ cd ..

Then you may build this project.

$ git clone https://github.com/fxnn/brainfuck-on-genetics
$ cd brainfuck-on-genetics
$ mvn package

Yet to come. Until then, have a look at the machine learning showcase on GitHub.
