   15yrs back I participated in "Google Ants AI Challenge 2011", an ai programming competition, hosted by the University of Waterloo, and I ranked #127 (#1 in my country). The competition gave me a huge learning oppurtunity where developers across the world came to a forum and discussed various techniques.

   Now, I've built a similar platform to bring back the fun of building a small neural network that can play the game well. Neural Network optimization seems to be much more fun.

   Plz share your feedback to improve the platform and add more games.

      Nice. I was 72nd. Working in AI research today and still making ai for games as a hobby (tfmbot.com is an ai i’m working on for my favourite board game terraforming mars).

         Thanks for sharing. I remember #1 xathis had a score, big leap ahead of others. The difference in techniques in top 100 was almost the same.
