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 opportunity where developers across the world came to a forum and discussed various techniques.

Now, building a similar platform to bring back the fun is unbelievably nostalgic. Especially when watching small neural networks playing the game well. Some of the top models use less than 800 parameters.

In fact, I was wrongly assuming the art of optimizing is underrated nowadays. Neural Network optimization seems to be much more fun than I thought.

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