Week 6

This week I continued through my learning process, having built an AI that trained itself to play sonic through the NEAT algorithm. I encountered an issue this week where I couldn't boot into Linux after trying to install cuda to setup tensorflow through my GPU. I managed to fix it by purging the nvidia programs. this week I'm hoping to learn about other algorithms such as curiosity learning and PPO2, as well as working on my planning for my final project.

Final Post

This past week I've been working on fixing issues with the program to make it run as smoothly as possible. I didn't think I would get the stats for nerds page done and was going to scrap it so I could focus on getting the documentation done and fixing the minor issues so it would be more polished but I decided to do the stats for nerds page anyway and spent the past day and a half working on it. The notable issues from its development were mainly around gathering the data, in which I found some other errors in how I was collecting data such as not updating the data files when quitting the program. But i managed to finish the page as well as the rest of the program. My final solution was reasonably successful in comparison to my proposal and design, the only main things that I wasn't able to achieve was customisation of genome numbers and generation size and stuff like that, but that would have required a lot of digging through files in the libraries I was using to edit th...

Week 13

this week I’ve been mainly focused on effectively parallelizing my AI so it can run multiple tests at once and be a lot faster, however I’m having trouble interacting with the neat library in order to do this as during some of its processes I need other functions to help me keep track of different things within the program, so I’ve been trying to work out how to edit the library and I’ll continue to work on that this week and hopefully have a finished AI soon enough.

Week 16

This week I worked on getting more of the interface and data collection work. I worked mostly on the view existing AIs page, getting the AIs to blit little buttons on the screen for interaction. I had an issue with data storage in text files but was able to fix it since I was writing to the text file when I was viewing it, which made it blank. This week ill continue to work on those pages, hopefully getting some functionality in those pages.
