🚀 Space Odyssey

This project is a simple implementation of genetic algorithm, simulated using Ruby2D graphic library.

Every ship has sensors to detect the surrounding and a randomized neural network. Network controls the ship's movement based on the sensor's reading. Each generation is generated from best performers of the previous generation.
