Evolution Utility

To Use the Evolution Utility:

1.  Set all the genetic algorithm parameters for the experiment.
	a.)  Fitness Function
	b.)  Board Size
	c.)  Number of Generations
	d.)  Number of Runs
	e.)  Population Size
	f.)  Boards per Evaluation
	g.)  Random Seed

2.  Pick the output directory by clicking the "Browse" button.  This is where all output files will be saved (including population statistics and evolved bots).

3.  Name the experiment.  A new directory with this name will be created in the directory chosen in Step 2.  All output files will be saved there.

Note: If the given directory already exists, you will be aasked to provide a different name.

4.  Adjust the "Save Bots Every..." value.  The best bot in the population will be saved according to this frequency value.

5.  Click "Start Evolution".  You may then click "Stop Evolution" or wait for the experiment to finish.  The progress bar will give an indication of how many generations have been processed.
