## Quick Start
### Installation
**Rust (Recommended)**
```bash
cargo add genesis-protocol
```
**Python**
```bash
pip install genesis-protocol
```
### Your First Digital Organism
```rust
use genesis_protocol::{Tron, DNA, NeuralNetwork};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// Create a random DNA sequence
let dna = DNA::random();
// Create a new digital organism (Tron)
let mut tron = Tron::new(dna);
// Initialize neural network
tron.initialize_neural_network();
// Evolve the organism
tron.evolve();
println!("Organism created with DNA: {}", tron.dna().to_string());
println!("Fitness: {}", tron.fitness());
Ok(())
}
```
### Population Evolution
```rust
use genesis_protocol::{Population, EvolutionConfig};
let config = EvolutionConfig::default()
.population_size(100)
.mutation_rate(0.01)
.crossover_rate(0.8);
let mut population = Population::new(config);
population.initialize();
// Run evolution for 100 generations
for generation in 0..100 {
population.evolve();
println!("Generation {}: Best fitness = {}",
generation,
population.best_fitness());
}
```
