How do I simulate a genetic algorithm?

Open this page and use the live Perceptron tool below — set your inputs and the simulation runs instantly in your browser using real numerics. No install, no account needed.

Yes. The simulation runs free in your browser. A one-time unlock or a Pro plan adds advanced parameters, saved presets, data import, and clean exports.

Can I use my own numbers?

Absolutely — every input is adjustable, and with data import you can drive a genetic algorithm from your own measurements.

The perceptron — the ancestor of every neural network — nudges a straight boundary each time it misclassifies a point. If the two classes are linearly separable it is guaranteed to find a dividing line; if they overlap, it never quite settles. Educational tool.

Governing equation

\overset{y}{^} = step (w \cdot x + b), w \leftarrow w + 0.10 (y - \overset{y}{^}) x

Reading this result: Moderate separation with a gentle learning rate: the boundary drifts steadily toward a clean split over many passes.

About this simulation

The full Perceptron tool models a genetic algorithm with the same numerics engineers and scientists use — running entirely client-side. Change any parameter and the result updates in real time, so you can build intuition, check a design, or teach the concept without spreadsheets or installs.
