<div class="block">Top-level JCGP class. This class is the entry point for a CGP experiment.
<br><br>
An instance of JCGP encapsulates the entire experiment. It contains a <code>Resources</code>
object which can be retrieved via a getter. Modules can be selected using their
respective setters.
<br><br>
The flow of the experiment is controlled using <code>start()</code>, <code>nextGeneration()</code>
and <code>reset()</code>. Files can be loaded with their respective load methods and
chromosome configurations can be saved with <code>saveChromosome()</code>.
<br><br>
JCGP supports an extra console in addition to <code>System.console()</code>, so that messages
can also be printed to a GUI, for example. This extra console can be set with <code>setConsole()</code>,
and must implement jcgp.resources.Console.</div>
