Show HN: A competition for small neural networks that play strategy games

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.

I remember a game on Steam called Tiny Brains, great couch co-op.

This looks fun. How small are the networks you're aiming for?
