A Processing application that trains neural networks to play the game Snake using a genetic algorithm with crossover and mutation across generations of 2000 snakes. It visualizes training progress, including best-score graphs per generation.

Use cases

  • train a neural network to play snake
  • learn how genetic algorithms evolve neural networks
  • demonstrate neuroevolution with crossover and mutation
  • visualize fitness improvements across generations
  • experiment with customizable neural network architectures
  • educational demo of reinforcement-free learning

When to choose

  • you want a visual, self-contained demo of neuroevolution
  • you are teaching or learning genetic algorithms and neural networks
  • you want to run experiments with customizable network sizes in Processing

When to avoid

  • you need production-grade reinforcement learning with GPU acceleration
  • you want a library to embed into your own projects rather than a standalone app
  • you need Python or a modern ML framework ecosystem
