Zen Garden (Tabu search evolution)
Map generator and samples
Adujst and use python __map_generator__.py to generate samples. Pre-generated map_samples are already bundled in this repo, so there isn't a need to run this. I've also included a hint.png file to quickly glance at the generated samples and easily notice the placement of pebbles.
Generator is not ideal - it doesn't try to generate fields that are guaranteed to be eventually solvable. The generate() function can be adjusted to lower/increase the amount of pebbles, however that still won't guarantee solvability.
Main
- A sample from the
map_samplesfolder will get loaded and printed. - todo: Random gene-pool will get created.
