    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.

      From competing with the world to building a place for the world to compete—what a full-circle moment. Love the challenge: how much strategy can a tiny neural network learn? Excited to see what people build.
