To run the program you will need Processing

Each doodle contains a neural network. The neural network has an input layer of 5 neurons, 2 hidden layers of 4 neurons, and one output layer of 2 neurons.

A population of 200 doodles is created, each doodle with its own neural network. After all the doodles die some of the highest scoring ones are chosen to reproduce and create a new population of 200 doodles. This process is repeated for every generation.

The doodle can see in 5 directions. In each of these directions the doodle can see the distance to a pad, if there is one in that direction.
