Pseudocode of the Novelty Engine

1.

(Reset)  
Create a population of random robots  
and a random training set T₂ of t-f agents.

2.

(Seed) 
If option SEED is true,

(a)

fetch 100 best from main population

(b)

replace with them

3.

(Refetch)  
Fetch f best agents from the main server  
and call this group T₁

4.

Let g=0

5.

Repeat forever

(a)

Let

(b)

Play each against each

(c)

Sort according to eq. (3.2)

(d)

For i=1 to 500 
Select random and 
replace p_i+500 with a random crossover of a₁and a₂

(e)

Let , then for i=1 to t-f 
add a new agent to T' by eq. (3.3).  
Let T₂=T'

(f)

Let g=g+1

(g)

If the main population has finished a new generation, then

i.

Send to main population as next group of rookies

ii.

If then go to (Reset) else goto (Refetch)
