// Smart Rockets w/ Genetic Algorithms

// Each Rocket's DNA is an array of PVectors
// Each PVector acts as a force for each frame of animation
// Imagine an booster on the end of the rocket that can point in any direction
// and fire at any strength every frame

// The Rocket's fitness is a function of how close it gets to the target as well as how fast it gets there

// This example is inspired by Jer Thorp's Smart Rockets

Population population;  // Population

//int diam = 24;          // Size of target
