Feel free to discuss my Genetic Programming project!

If you need to speed up the compiling you may with to try using Jikes instead of javac. It compiles much faster, but unfortunately only works for Java 1.4 and earlier, so you need to point at an old robocode.jar for your compile classpath. For running, if you have multiple cores you can turn on the robocode option to enable running the robots in parallel. Otherwise you could use something like RoboResearch which can network battles across multiple machines and set up a whole lab to run your battles. Some food for thought =) --Skilgannon 18:30, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Skilgannon, really appreciate the suggestions, definitely food for thought :) I'll look into the dual core option, if I have time RoboResearch sounds like a good idea too. For now I'll halve the reproduction rate just so I can run a complete cycle of 50 generations and while I'm waiting I'll look into your suggestions. Cheers! --Bigfatcat 18:40, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
