Creating emergent particles using a harmony search

Being a musician myself, this recipe is one that is close to my heart. Imagine a group of musicians with a base theme in mind. But, they've never played with each other, and as the song changes, they must adapt to the core tones with their instruments and their styles. The emulation of this adaptation is implemented using an algorithm called harmony search.

Getting ready…

We will need to define an objective function as a delegate in order to set it up before calling the function.

How to do it…

We will now implement the algorithm in a class:

1. Create the HarmonySearch class:

   using UnityEngine;
   using System.Collections;
   
   public class HarmonySearch : MonoBehaviour
   {
   
   }

2. Define the public inputs that are to be tuned:

   [Range(1, 100)]
   public int memorySize = 30;
   public int pitchNum;
   // consolidation rate
   [Range(0.1f, 0.99f)]
   public float consRate = 0.9f;
   // adjustment rate
   [Range(0.1f, 0.99f)]
   public float adjsRate = 0.7f;
   public float range = 0.05f;
   public...
