FEATURE REQUEST: Spatial awareness

[freekeys]

Hello, I've read that GAs can be improved by introduced a spatial dimension, which can avoid early local minima being found.

This effectively means giving each individual an x,y coordinate, and only allowing mating within a specific distance.

Have you considered introducing this to pyGAD? If so then I'd love to learn more and understand why you decided not to include it. If not then is this something you would consider?

Many thanks for a fantastic library!

Hello @freekeys,

Thanks for using PyGAD and suggesting this feature. This looks interesting really. I will consider doing some research to learn more about it and consider supporting this feature.

Please let me know if you have any other suggestions now or in the future.
