Getting Started with the GAweb Demo

The GAweb source code is the real thing: I wrote it to give beginners a visually engaging introduction to genetic algorithms. Unlike most downloadable demo's, it hasn't been stripped down-it's complete and uncut. This means you get the powerful genetic engine (GAwebLib), my versatile 3-D interface engine (VRML and VRMLEngine), and the complete user interface code (GAwebUI). You'll want to ensure that everything is registered correctly before you start, so it's a good idea to do a preliminary compilation of all the source code. Make sure you recompile in this order: The VRMLEngine project, the VRML project, and the GAwebLib project. GAwebUI should be your StartUp project. Compiling in this order should enable you to run the project the first time-with no problems.

If you want to skip the source code and see the GAweb.exe run, you will need to make sure these DLLs are registered before you click on the EXE: GAwebLib.dll, VRML.dll, and VRMLEngine.dll.
