Applying genetic programming (evolutionary algorithm) to generate an artistic version of a reference input image

• Assignment submission for Artificial Intelligence course

Just replace input.bmp with another image of the same name (respecting the requirements below) then run a.out from the terminal

• Environment: any linux distribution with gcc compiler
• Dependencies: OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) installed (GL/ has to exist in directory /usr/include/)
• Input image: a valid 512x512 RGB bitmap *.bmp file (generated by software such as MS-Paint or Pinta)

1. Specify the input image file location INPUT_IMAGE_PATH in main.cpp
2. Open terminal, navigate cd to the directory containing main.cpp
3. Run sh ./compile.sh to compile the source files into an output executable
4. Execute the generated file using ./a.out
