# Gene Pool Configuration (# indicate comments)

# The number of processors used will be the minimum
# of this number and half the gene pool population.
maximum simultaneous games = 8

# How many players in each pool
gene pool population = 100

# How many mutations a newly created Genetic AI should undergo.
# The gene pool starts with first mutations and then switches back
# and forth. How many rounds each mutation rate lasts is controlled
# by the interval options.
first mutation rate = 30
first mutation interval = 20
second mutation rate = 1
second mutation interval = 1000

# Game time
#
# If the game time increment is positive, the time for each game
# starts at the minimum, then goes up by the increment after each
# round of games. When it reaches the maximum, the game time will
# remain at the maximum time until the end of the run. If the game
# time increment is negative, then the game time will start at the
# maximum game time and go down by the increment until it reaches the
# minimum game time, where it will remain thereafter.

minimum game time = .5 # seconds
maximum game time = 30 # seconds
game time increment = 0.01 # seconds

# (Optional) Start every game with the board specified by the FEN below
# FEN = rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR b KQkq e3 0 1
# The above board is after 1. e4

# The name of the file where the genomes will be recorded.
# Games will be recorded in a file with "_games.txt" appended
# to the name. If the file already exists from a previous run,
# then the gene pool procedue will pick up from the last
# stopping point.
