Replicating SethBling’s MarI/O from 2015, that inspired me to get into Reinforcement Learning 10 years later

Maybe some of you remember how SethBling implemented Neuroevolution of Augmenting Topologies in Super Mario World back in 2015. Well, I was just 14 year old back then, but somehow life has led me after 10 years to get into Machine Learning and specialize in Reinforcement Learning, and I ended up trying to replicate his work that amazed me as a kid.

I’m also super proud of the code, except the visualization part. The repo is fully available here: https://github.com/InexperiencedMe/SimpleNEAT
