Evolving the Monalisa with Genetic Algorithm

https://youtu.be/j7djX8TZGeo

This is a demo run of a Java project to evolve a rudimentary impression of "Monalisa" with respect to the given target. 500 translucent rectangles are used with a pseudo Genetic Algorithm (only mutation). Hyperparameters are set manually and adapted to the image fitness score. Manhattan distance measure between the pixel colors is used for calculating the fitness score. The video is played at 4x the real speed.
