Evolvotron_complexity

 This script is based on `evolvotron' a wonderful program which mutates
 algorithmically generated images. You can get it here:
 http://www.bottlenose.demon.co.uk/share/evolvotron/index.htm

 This script mutates an initial random image in only one direction, that of
 the minimum redundancy, or in another words that of the maximum complexity.

 *** Usage
		
	evolvotron_complexity [new [function.xml]]
	evolvotron_complexity [frame_number]

 1) Copy the script into an empty directory and go there

	mkdir ev; cp evolvotron_complexity ev/ ; cd ev/
      
 2) Launch the script for the first time

	./evolvotron_complexity new

    In this way it starts from a random function and runs forever (until you
    kill it).
    The evolution can also start from an existing function, f.e. a function
    generated by evolvotron:

	./evolvotron_complexity new function.xml
  
    All the generate images and function will be saved in the current
    directory with the good_NUMBER.xml and good_NUMBER.ppm file name.

 3) If you've halted the script, you can continue from the previous mutation
    by simply running:
	./evolvotron_complexity. 
    If you want to continue from a specific frame (let's say good_17.xml),
    specify it:
	./evolvotron_complexity 17

 4) Render the final high quality image
      		
	 cat good_NUMBER.xml | evolvotron_render -s 1024 1024 rendered_image.ppm
    Where good_NUMBER.xml is the function of the final image

 5) Enjoy ^_^

 Note:  After some time you'll see that the output images will degenerate. If
 	 you let the degenerated images evolve, they will be more and
        more like a /dev/urandom image:
        cat /dev/urandom | rawtoppm 1024 768 > TEST.ppm; display TEST.ppm

	 When you've reached this point, you won't go further very much, so
	 it's better to stop the script, choose the really last good frame,
	 increasing resolution and continuing from there. Ex:
		- We are at good_37.xml, but it is already degenerated. Let's
		  continue from good_20.xml
		- ./evolvotron_complexity 20
