# evolvable-NES

Neuroevolution experiments for NES games

## Setup

You will need to install fceux for your distribution (e.g. `apt-get install fceux`), then torch (http://torch.ch/docs/getting-started.html).

To use the graphical components (iup) in fceux you'll need to install them manually by following those two guides: [one](https://github.com/henix/blog.henix.info/blob/master/unused/oldblogs/install-iuplua-on-linux.md) and [two](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/asfdfdfd/fceux/master/README-SDL). Then you can install fceux for Windows (has debugger, chaat search and other useful goodies), download the roms and copy the savestates by running `./setup.sh`.
