📗 Go the genetic algorithm demo
self-driving car demo. Play with the network size parameters and the genetic algorithm parameters to see how they affect how fast the cars learn to drive. Wait for a few generations until most of the cars can complete a whole lap successfully and take a screenshot. Share the screenshot on Piazza and briefly discuss what you find (which parameter you changed, what it does, and how it may affect learning).
📗 If you are familiar with JavaScript, you can play with the code for activation function, mutation, crossing, and selection too.
