Usage

1. Clone this repository

2. Create the text folder and fill it in with *.txt files which you'd like to use as the test data source. I used a series of articles from various online media. I don't have copyrights to provide them with this project, so you will have to use your own source.

3. Run npm start to boot the AI design process. Exact constrains can be set in the src/genome.js file.

4. Run npm test to run the final comparisons against existing layouts
