Ruby Genetic Algorithm Library

Author: Carlos Maximiliano Giorgio Bort Date: 16/03/2011

This is a simple implementation of a genetic algorithm.

This library works with Ruby 1.9.2 or newer versions Together with this gem you may install:

• gnuplot (if you have a mac you can do this via mac port)
• gnuolotr which is a gem that you can install simply typing into your terminal: gem install gnuplotr

Gnuplot and gnuplotr are used to plot the evolution of the best chromosome in the population.

Run the test/test.rb to test the algorithm. Otherwise you can just the run ga_gem.rb file.

Note: If you are using a mac, maybe you'll need to install the newer version of ruby. Try the rvm: Ruby Version Manager!
