Usage/Example

Configuration

When using neatly, although a config file isn't strictly necessary, it's highly highly recommended that you use one to streamline neatly's implementation process. In the same folder as the python file that is using neatly functions, create a config.toml file. To get started, simply copy-paste this in:

i_count = 2     # Number of inputs
o_count = 1     # Number of outputs
pop_size = 30   # Population size of a single generation

This is an extremely basic config.toml file, but it gets the job done. Feel free to adjust the default values in order to steer neatly in the direction of your desired network/structure. There are many other useful parameters that can (and should) be tweaked, so make sure to check out

Hello, world!

Here's an example of how to implement a very simple neatly network:

import neatly

# Initialize a population and sort into a list of extant species
pop = neatly.initialize_population()
almanac = neatly.speciate(pop)

Contributing

To be completely honest, I don't know why anybody would want to contribute to this pile of hot garbage, and I don't really know how contributing works, but if you're interested email me.
