//  # Step 1: The Population 
//    # Create an empty population (an array or ArrayList)
//    # Fill it with DNA encoded objects (pick random values to start)

// draw()
//  # Step 1: Selection 
//    # Create an empty mating pool (an empty ArrayList)
//    # For every member of the population, evaluate its fitness based on some criteria / function, 
//      and add it to the mating pool in a manner consistant with its fitness, i.e. the more fit it 
//      is the more times it appears in the mating pool, in order to be more likely picked for reproduction.

//  # Step 2: Reproduction Create a new empty population
//    # Fill the new population by executing the following steps:
//       1. Pick two "parent" objects from the mating pool.
//       2. Crossover -- create a "child" object by mating these two parents.
//       3. Mutation -- mutate the child's DNA based on a given probability.
//       4. Add the child object to the new population.
//    # Replace the old population with the new population
//  
//   # Rinse and repeat
