WasmNeat

This repository utilizes submodules for SharpNeat and Redzen in order to keep up-to-date with the upstream branch. There are some patches that are needed in order to compile correctly for Wasm.

Prerequisites

.NET 7.0 SDK

Installation and Building

Note that these instructions are for a Linux or MacOS system and have not been tested on Windows. I suspect that the patch command is the only thing that would be different for Windows.

# Clone the repo and submodules
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Up-North-Coding/WasmNeat
cd WasmNeat

# Install wasm-tools
sudo dotnet workload install wasm-tools

# Add references for SharpNeat and Redzen so that everything gets built correctly
(cd sharpneat/src/SharpNeat && dotnet add SharpNeat.csproj reference ../../../Redzen/Redzen/Redzen.csproj)
(cd WasmNeat/src && dotnet add WasmNeat.csproj reference ../../sharpneat/src/SharpNeat/SharpNeat.csproj)

# Patch the ComplexityRegulationStrategyConfig so that the JSON serialization doesn't break
patch sharpneat/src/SharpNeat/Experiments/ConfigModels/ComplexityRegulationStrategyConfig.cs < patches/ComplexityRegulationStrategyConfig.cs.patch

# Compile a release build
cd WasmNeat/src
dotnet publish -c Release

# Install dotnet-serve to serve the example application
dotnet tool install --global dotnet-serve

# Now serve the wasm on port 9000
dotnet serve --mime .wasm=application/wasm --mime .js=text/javascript --mime .json=application/json --directory bin/Release/net7.0/browser-wasm/AppBundle --port 9000
