Codingame Implementation
Local Implementation
Summary
A semi-annual hackathon for exploring and competing in machine learning based
challenges.
Submission
This particular year I tried a new training technique leveraging a
fresh nueral node implementation in python3. Eventually ending up 113 of 207
participants I had a great time applying my skills to the problem space but
unfourtuanetly misinterpreted how a particular portion of the game worked in the
competition versus my local implementation for training the network which caused
it to perform significantly worse against the other bots in the competition as
opposed to what I had observed it's behaviour being in my local environment.

Submission
This particular year I iterated forward with my submission from the previous year, adapting it to a new local representation of the game, making sure to fully understand the rules this time around and did considerably better, coming in the top 50 of now 249 competitors, marking a nice improvement in handling the implementation and adding a saving/loading function for the neral network to be able to parrallelize the learning in my GPU.
