Also, I’d like to point out a bug that can cause bad lag. I was curious, so I ventured to try and make a recursive neural net – that is, I connected one of my neurons to another neuron, which connected to a third, which connected back to the first. Well, apparently making loops is a no-no, because the game began to lag my browser when I entered training mode. I was forced to control-alt-delete and force-close the browser.

Also, what is that “asd” node/message that pops up at the beginning sometimes?

Thanks, I’ll check those out.

I don’t know of any others, though you might try taking a look at Democracy and Democracy 2. They are both driven by neural nets as well.

Actually, I’ve been quite enjoying this. I’m interested in neural nets, but I’m not a programmer yet, and I’m not ready to wade through the math. This is proving somewhat helpful for increasing my conceptual framework.

Believe it or not, the other day I was actually looking for a game/toy like this that would let me build neural nets with click-and-drag. Yours is the only one I’ve found. Do you know of any others, or programs that might be fun to toy around with?

Anyway, thanks a lot!

To be honest, it was an experiment, not a finished product. In my opinion, it doesn’t really work that well, it’s not that fun, esp because of the neural network building stuff. Neural networks are usually intentionally too complex for a human to understand, so asking a human to build one doesn’t make sense.

In any case, I built it as a way to take a break from Dinosauria and get my juices flowing again.

Because I keep press the + and – buttons on my keyboard and nothing happens D8

Doing a competitor is next on my list of things to do actually! It’s based on neural networks… there’s lots of good literature on the web, but be careful, much of it is overly math heavy.
