/*
Template for creating a new representation in EO
================================================

This is the template main file.
It includes all other files that have been generated by the script create.sh
so it is the only file to compile.

In case you want to build up a separate library for your new Evolving Object,
you'll need some work - follow what's done in the src/ga dir, used in the
main file BitEA in tutorial/Lesson4 dir.
Or you can wait until we do it :-)
