# Neat[Tinkering]

* [ ] Show fitness calculation in GUI.
* [ ] Make GUI drawing optional. (Network & data)
* [ ] Make the drawing of the circle optional & disable it in overworld. (just cosmetical changes)

## Readme from [original repository][2]
> Added coins/score/damage to fitness calculation.
>
> Added version with weighted distance: added circle around mario where enemies inside the circle are treated as most important and enemies
> outside of the circle have their weights reduced depending on how far outside the circle.
>
> Added a start/stop button so that the algorithm doesn't auto-start on load and so that one can easily pause the algorithm.
>
> For some reason, the load feature did not work on my machine. This is now fixed so that I can load a previously saved pool.
>
> Moved the neat graphics to the form window instead of as a gui overlay. I liked the gui overlay but I prefer to to separate the game > window from the neat information.
>
> Did some miscellaneous house-keeping, like moving global config settings into their own file, etc.
