NAME

Algorithm::MasterMind::EvoRank_End_Games - Adding end_games (tricks) for making a faster exploration of the solutions space

SYNOPSIS

  use Algorithm::MasterMind::Evolutionary_Partitions;

DESCRIPTION

The partition method was introduced in a 2010 paper, and then changed by Runarsson and Merelo to incorporate it in the genetic search. It was prepared for a conference paper.
