About multi-parents in Watchmaker Framework for Evolutionary Computation v 0.7.1

[francisco emanuel lozano olmos]

Hello ... My name is Emanuel Lozano Francisco Olmos am a student of computer engineering career in Mexico and I am using the Watchmaker Framework for Evolutionary Computation v 0.7.1 and would like to know if it is possible to implement operators with multi-parent crossover, and if possible that part of the code must be modified to do so.

Thank you very much for your attention, we are in contact.

You can implement pretty much any operator that you choose by
providing your own implementation of the single-method
EvolutionaryOperator interface. For cross-over there is an
AbstractCrossover class that you can extend but that assumes that
there will be exactly two parents.
