Bouncing elastic text effect

This article shows the basic concepts of Generic Algorithms. Generic Algorithms (GA) are used to arrive at an optimal solution for problems which cannot be solved by mathmatical rules or formulae. A GA simulates the natural evolution process by selecting and breeding the fittest individuals. According to Darwin's Evolution Theory the "fittest" are those which are best adapted to a competitive and possibly hostile environment...
