Gad Selection
Short description:
We have to breed a specific kind of genetic alien devices (GAD) through the process of multi-stage directed selection. You have an objective feature state (color) which we want to be achieved in at least one of the GADs. Then we select those GADs whiose genes could be used to achieve a GAD closer to the objective in the next generation of GADs. The non-selected GADs are disposed and a new generation of GADs are breeded by mating the selected ones. Sometimes we will need to use the random mutation as a mean to move the selection in new direction.
