Painting by the Numbers: An exploration into evolutionary algorithms In a recent second year University project, I was tasked with developing an evolutionary algorithm for reproducing images using a limited number of semi-transparent polygons. I spent so much time above and beyond what I needed to that I thought it was worth writing a post about how I went about my work and challenges along the way. What are evolutionary algorithms? The basic premise of an evolutionary algorithm is: you have a p...
