Contributions summary:Nemanja primarily contributed to the development of a genetic algorithm-based solver for jigsaw puzzles. Their work involved creating core classes like `Individual` to represent potential solutions, implementing a fitness function to evaluate solution quality, and defining dissimilarity measures to compare puzzle piece adjacencies. Furthermore, they refactored the code to modularize the algorithm, introduced caching mechanisms for dissimilarity measures, and refactored the algorithm.
