Generating Videos in Geometry Dash with Evolution

You should also make an algorithm that takes the finished image and declutters it to reduce object count - choose a random number objects (say, however many objects 2% of the total is) to remove, and whichever removed object improves the pixel score the most/worsens the pixel score the least, remove it. Maybe you could run your generation algorithm a few times, swap to the declutter alg, swap back to the generation alg, etc etc until you get the desired image
