Finished final project!

Fitness calculation now uses openmp.
Started writing README.md
Draw circles or squares by specifying macro DRAW_SQUARES in
evolve_image.h

Next hope to add multithreading.

Added superior random double function. The macro from before was suseptable to floating point errors.
Changed from circles to squares.
The algorithm as of right now is
1.) Choose whether to change draw order or mutate 1 circle (50% chance)
2.) If we are changing draw order, swap the current index with a random
index
3.) If we are mutating, choose a random gene index and mutate a random
field (x, y, radius, or color) by a random amount [-1, 1]

There was an issue with my algorithm. It was getting the same fitness for evolving and best. This was because I mutated the dna for evolving but I never updated evolving before calculating the fitness. So the fitness was being calculated on old dna.
Added RAND_PERCENT(), a macro for a random in [0, 1]. See branch
cool_macros for some cool macros.

Refactored DNA. DNA::Gene now stores its fields as integers. Implemented rule of five for DNA.
Wrote basic genetic algorithm. It seems to not give good results though. Ill have to test this more to make sure it is really working.

Gui now displays original, best, and evolving with scaling on resize.
Added function to randomize initial dna.
Still need to implemenent the algorithm. DNA class will need to be modified to take into account bounds of each field (ex. r must be between 0 - 255 or cx must be between 0 and img_width)

There is now a gui to open png files.
Added EvolveImage class.
Still need to figure out how to draw shapes to an image.
When an image is selected with the file chooser it shows up discolored when drawn to the window. Still need to fix this issue.

Now images can be chosen using a file dialog.

Gene stores data of circles color and position as well as a blank section (this simulates garbage mutations). Members of both are accessed with [] to make randomly choosing a field easier.
Scratched model, view, controller in favor of a more openFrameworks-ey style. (main + ofApp) The view and controller will both be in evolve_app.cpp.
Upadated gen_log.sh. Now it stashes changes before updating DEVELOPMENT.md

Created src/evolve/ for files relating to the genetic algorithm.
