Quick Start

Installation

Rust (Recommended)

cargo add genesis-protocol

Python

pip install genesis-protocol

Your First Digital Organism

use genesis_protocol::{Tron, DNA, NeuralNetwork};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create a random DNA sequence
    let dna = DNA::random();
    
    // Create a new digital organism (Tron)
    let mut tron = Tron::new(dna);
    
    // Initialize neural network
    tron.initialize_neural_network();
    
    // Evolve the organism
    tron.evolve();
    
    println!("Organism created with DNA: {}", tron.dna().to_string());
    println!("Fitness: {}", tron.fitness());
    
    Ok(())
}

Population Evolution

use genesis_protocol::{Population, EvolutionConfig};

let config = EvolutionConfig::default()
    .population_size(100)
    .mutation_rate(0.01)
    .crossover_rate(0.8);

let mut population = Population::new(config);
population.initialize();

// Run evolution for 100 generations
for generation in 0..100 {
    population.evolve();
    println!("Generation {}: Best fitness = {}", 
             generation, 
             population.best_fitness());
}
