9.5: Genetic Algorithm: Fitness, Genotype vs Phenotype - The Nature of Code

In part 5 of my genetic algorithm series I discuss how you can adapt the algorithm for your own creative project. The key pieces are designing and implementing a custom "fitness function" as well as how you choose to encode your DNA (genotype vs phenotype). https://thecodingtrain.com/more/archi...
