Small neural network competition platform lacks easy access
Problem
Users want to lower the entry barrier for small neural network competitions, especially by providing a gym-like interface to avoid heavy PyTorch dependencies. Community interest in past competitions also signals demand for a revived platform.
Pain points
- Lack of a gym-like interface to easily run small neural networks
- Heavy PyTorch dependencies create a high entry barrier
- Interest in reviving past competition platforms indicates demand for community-driven competition environments
Questions to verify
- Would you like to use a gym-like interface to participate in small neural network competitions?
- Does the PyTorch dependency barrier hinder your participation?
- Which strategy game types would you most like to see supported on the platform?

The competition gave me a huge learning opportunity 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. Plz share your feedback to improve the platform and add more games.

would love to see the project as a gym, so that you can run your own ANN design algorithm.I get that most data science students still use python, but the evolutionary world is kinda in C++ and other native languages.Anyways, great project nonetheless.
