Features
--------

**Full multi-objective optimization**

- Feel free to optimize H bonds, hydrophobic interactions, desolvation effects, distances between given sets of atoms, rotamers and more, without compromises.

**Unprecedented customizability**

- Every gene and objective is a separate module, so they can be called on demand one or more times. This flexible approach allows very different calculations with the same mindset: exploration and evaluation.

**Developer friendly**

- If the provided genes and objectives are not enough, you can always code your own ones. Check out the `developer docs `_!

Documentation and support
-------------------------

Documentation source is available in ``docs/`` subdirectory, and also compiled as HTML at `this webpage `_.
