rust-tsp, "Rusty Genes"

• A Rust implementation of a genetic program to solve the travelling salesperson problem.
• The program reads a list of cities from a file, runs a genetic algorithm to find an optimal path, and prints the best path found.
• The genetic algorithm uses a combination of single point, uniform order, and partially mapped crossover methods for breeding, and a simple swap mutation method.
• The program uses command line arguments to control the number of iterations, population size, crossover rate, mutation rate, and survival rate.
• See this repo for my other attempt at writing a genetic program/Rust programming.

Next Steps

• Add unit tests to ensure the correctness of the genetic algorithm.
• Add additional mutation methods.
• Implement a GUI visualization of the program as it runs using a library such as iced. It should display the current best path and update in real time as the program runs.
