Evolutionary Algorithims

[Agamemnus]

A "genetic algorithm" is the same thing.......

[qbiscool]

from the knowlege i have from AI genetic algorithms is a program that is given certain genes and a goal and gains knowlegde to try to solve the goal. a evolutionary algorithm is a program that is given genes and problems but has no big goal(like get to the big red dot or find the capital of canada) but is given problems and the goal is to grow to overcome them.

Im probaly wrong but that is what i think of them as

[Agamemnus]

The goal, then, is to overcome to "problem", just like the "problem" of finding the big red dot..

A "genetic alogorithm" isn't necissarily the same thing as a neural net.

An genetic algorithm could be as simple as pairing off the best traits of killed computer-controlled players for re-spawning. While you could make an NN do that, it wouldn't make any sense to.

I shuppose you could say that an evolutionary algorithm is THE algorithm to the universe, life, and everything.

Here's a hint to get you started:

What's got 42 to do with this?
