.: Staying Up Late 07/01/2004 :.

Staying up late and coding... It is about 2 am now. I'm actually making some progress with my Parallel GA project - I haven't touched it in a week, but I didn't feel much like reading tonight. I'm trying to tackle the breeding function(s) tonight (this morning)... I'm going to start by implementing only one breeding option and work my way around to other methods later. So here is a list of the objects in the project:

GeneSequence Class

Fitness Class (which will eventually be passed into an Individual as a template object)

Individual Class (which eventually become a template class)

A Population Class (a set of Individuals)

Here is what I've done recently:

Implemented the main Breed function as a Variable Length Argument List Function, where the arguments describe the various characteristics the breeding function should have.

Implemented Life-spanning for the Individual class - i.e. Individuals can now "die" off after a certain age has been reached.

Finished the progress of the Population Aging
