Method is simple brute force for every permutation.
In a intel core i5 M 560 @ 2.67GHz, program terminates in 2 minutes.
This software uses a genetic algorithm to "evolve" reactor designs for Schema's space-simulation game, Star-Made (http://star-made.org/). One of the more unique aspects of the game is that ship power management is not as simple as filling a cube with power generation blocks. This mechanism leads to difficulties in getting maximal power generation out of such reactors.
This program rectifies this issue by using a self-organizing variant of brute force search. Much of the search space is pruned early on by a user-selectable fitness function. Within a few epochs, reactor output quickly converges to several sub-optimal, yet high-output reactors. ...
This is a simple app, created around an original sudoku solver based only on heuristics, not brute force. It's coded in Java/SWT(GUI toolkit). It's an example of MVC and of Visitor, Observer, Strategy, Abstract Factory, Singleton Design Patterns.
