MOSAICS WITH A GENETIC ALGORITHM IN PYTHON+TKINTER
By: Aldo Gonzalez
Saint Norbert College Senior Capstone Project - Spring 2021


WINDOWS:
1. Run "main.exe" by double-clicking it
2. Enjoy the program*
3. When you are content with your results, click the X in the upper right-hand corner (The "DONE" button does not work in this .exe version)
4. Repeat as you wish!

*note that "nothing" happens when you click "GO." The non-exe will show live fitness score updates in the console. Here, you can watch the button. 
It will stay clicking until done.


NOTES:
-Max tiles is 9800, as per library
-do not move or rename any files
-when you select an option within the program, this folder will get an influx of images. Do not be alarmed. These are just representing each tile, 
and will be as many as the amount of tiles chosen
Please do not move or rename these. If you must delete them after you exit the program, make sure to only delete those (they have a similar naming convention)


TIPS:
-keep the size of generation 4+
-stay close to the pre-set mutation parameters. Doing much more than .1 tiles affected, for example, can make results worse instead of better
