    Poorly programmed, it doesn't learn from its mistakes, the games get stuck in a loop because the snake doesn't capture a piece but the piece remains and there's a gap, constantly moving the snake along the same path with negative scores in an infinite loop leaving an unaltered yin and yang ;) there's a repetitive pattern in these infinite games between the position of the gap and the piece

    I noticed snake gets penalized for not getting to the apple early, is that what you really want? Snake is about how long it gets not about the balance between length and wall clock time

    Cool project!I noticed that if you go from training to watch and then back, the training temporarily drop significantly in score.

    did a pretty similar thing last month for the text rendering library last month.trained and made a viz for the model and then made it displace text.should probably do a proper write-up:https://x.com/i/status/2038367016969724259

    Really cool! But right as it was nearing 4,000, it seems to have corrupted itself and no longer got any scores above 0. Not sure if that's a code bug or a neural net issue.avg500 -4.6 last 500 episodespeak 3959.3 best windowroll/s 20.68 20-step avgprogress 4388 562749 episodes

    My average eventually made it to about 3900, and then stagnated between 3600-3900. I'm curious if this is universal behavior or not. I'm up to about 5k steps.

    More details and implementation notes please?

    > WebGPU not available in this browserLooks like this is for Linux and Windows, on NetBSD I get this issue :(

    cool project

    my training on a 10x10 just randomly broke. i got to like 3600 then the graph went flat, the viewer on the left just showed it constantly restarting the game, and the scores in the negative. my average is now -10.
