# Genetic Algorithm Hello World! (Common Lisp Edition)

This is a simple project intended to showcase genetic algorithms with a well
known example for all new developers; namely the classic "Hello, World!"
example, written in Common Lisp.

## Overview

The application simply "evolves" the string "Hello, world!" from a population
of random strings. It is intended to be a gentle introduction into the world
of genetic algorithms, specifically using Common Lisp. The program itself is
really simple, and is contained within a single file.

The source is a pretty direct translation of the Python version using
Common Lisp idiom, barring some parts that weren't understood. It has
not been optimized for speed.

You'll notice some repetition of TARGET and "Hello, World!", this is
my personal preference for (and verbose combination of) default values
and being explicit when calling functions. It also helps for testing
on the REPL.

## Usage

The project is completely self contained. To execute the application, run
the following command from a shell (assuming `clisp`, `ecl` or `sbcl`
is on your system path):

- CCL: my old 1.4 version fails, don't know why
- CLISP: `clisp -i ga-hello-world.lisp -x "(progn (main) (quit))"`
- ECL: `ecl -l ga-hello-world.lisp -eval "(progn (main) (quit))"`
- SBCL: `sbcl --load ga-hello-world.lisp --eval "(progn (main) (quit))"`

The more 'Lispy' way would be just starting you CL implementation and
issuing `(load "ga-hello-world.lisp")` and then calling the MAIN
function.

To run the tests you need the `lisp-unit` package. To run them from
the commandline issue:

- CLISP: `clisp -i ga-hello-world-tests.lisp`
- ECL: `ecl -l ga-hello-world-tests.lisp`
- SBCL: `sbcl --load ga-hello-world-tests.lisp`
