Usually. I this case though, I really wasnt planning ahead too much as I wrote it and thats the way it happened... not the best of excuses I know. I've been thinking about the consequences though, and I'd have to run it to see really, but I'm thinking looking for average population fitness should produce more individuals within the population that are fit, whereas stopping as soon as one individual is fit enough in the population wouldn't give the others a chance to catch up as it were ! .. theres all kinds of ways of approaching it, and I just picked a quick simple one on the fly.
I've already noticed stray bits of code in there, so as I clean it up I'll put in the individual fitnes test in and see how it goes. As an aside; anyone here played with Framsticks? Matt. I must not anthropomorphise sequences of symbols. (apologies disclaimers) This message and any attachments (the "message") is intended solely for the addressees and is confidential.
