Project Overview

FindTheTarget uses a genetic algorithm to simulate and visualise the process of dots finding a target. The project showcases evolutionary principles by progressively improving the dot paths through generations.

Features

• Genetic Algorithm: Simulates the evolution of dot paths to find a target.
• Visualisation: Displays the movement and evolution of dots in real-time.
• Obstacles: Incorporates obstacles that dots must navigate around to reach the target.
• Performance Graph: Displays a graph showing the performance improvement over time.

Technologies Used

• P5.js: JavaScript library for creating graphic and interactive experiences.
• HTML/CSS: Markup and styling for the interface.
• JavaScript: Core programming language for the algorithm and visualisation.
