generative modeling for Rhino
Hi David
I've been playing with galapagos solving a problem that requires to find the shortest path over the surface of a box. It worked after tweaking the settings in galapagos but I noticed something wierd, the solution was always the same, and there should be two possible outcomes since the geometry is symmetrical.
I had an integer slider to choose between four possibilities (0 to 3). I noticed that galapagos failed to try the last index of the integer slider in the first run, actually it did but much much less than the other possibilities... I had to trick it to make it work properly. I created a floating point slider from -0.5 to 3.499 and then add an expression to round it.
Seems like a bug to me. Statistically, in the first generation, I would expect galapagos to equally try the four possiblities of an integer slider between 0 and 3, but it doesn't.
bye

Hi Frane,
yeah looks like a bug.
