Optimizing the 8 Queens Puzzle using the Genetic Algorithm

8QueensGenetic

A Python project for optimizing the 8 Queens Puzzle using the Genetic Algorithm implemented in PyGAD.

The project uses the Kivy cross-platform Python framework for building the GUI of the 8 queens puzzle. The GUI helps to visualize the solutions reached while the genetic algorithm (GA) is optimizing the problem to find the best solution.

For implementing the genetic algorithm, the PyGAD library is used. Check its documentation here: https://pygad.readthedocs.io

To install PyGAD, simply use pip to download and install the library from PyPI (Python Package Index). The library lives a PyPI at this page https://pypi.org/project/pygad.

For Windows, issue the following command:

pip install pygad

For Linux and Mac, replace pip by use pip3 because the library only supports Python 3.
