camouflage.cpp

A fun and visual🦎 way to see natural selection in action!

Description

camouflage.cpp is a C++ application that simulates the process of camouflage through a genetic algorithm. It uses the Raylib library for visualization and provides an interactive experience where users can observe how a genetic algorithm evolves to create better camouflage patterns over time.

Features

• Genetic Algorithm: The simulation uses a genetic algorithm to evolve a population of patterns to minimize visibility against a background.
• Customizable Parameters: You can tweak parameters such as mutation rate, simulation speed, elite ratio etc.
• Graphical Interface: The application utilizes Raylib to provide a real-time graphical representation of the camouflage patterns.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/Muhammed-Rajab/camouflage.cpp

cd camouflage.cpp/

g++ main.cpp algos.cpp ga.cpp hsl.cpp -I raylib/include -L raylib/lib/ -lraylib -o camouflage

./camouflage

Dependencies

• Raylib: For rendering and GUI functionality.

• C++17: The project requires C++17 features for some of the standard library functions.

Genetic Algorithm Parameters

• Population Size: 40x40 grid of individuals
• Mutation Rate: 0.05%.
• Fitness Calculation: Based on the difference between the hue of the pattern and the background (360 - hue difference).
