Neural Net Flies Navigate through a maze

In this simulation, flies are controlled by a neural network. You can adjust the hyperparameters. There's a maze mode, in which flies have to avoid some obstacles. I think the effect is pretty cool. What do you think? updated link: https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/5f7017c8-98fb-4d89-a32c-1...

In plain words

Neural Net Flies Navigate through a Maze is a simulation where artificial neural networks control flies attempting to navigate through obstacle courses. Users can adjust hyperparameters to modify how the neural networks behave and learn. The simulation includes a maze mode that challenges the flies to avoid obstacles while finding their way through. The tool is designed for those interested in observing neural network behavior and machine learning concepts in action through visual simulation.

    Watch 14-Byte AI "brains" attempt to solve a 2D maze (Its hard)Jul 2026 · con-dog.github.io · ▲25

    Hey HackerNews, I built this project over the last few weeks as a palette cleanser from a failed game launch. I wanted to learn a bit about AI/Neural-Networks and naively thought I could build a tiny maze-solving AI in a weekend with a 100% solve rate. Well - I couldn't, but I got pretty close. 14 Bytes total model size, and a 96.5% solve rate on unseen mazes. Trained across 46 phases experimenting with different ideas to improve the model (better performance, smaller size). Its quite fun to watch the model attempt to solve the maze, when they fail its usually due to getting stuck in a…

  • Visual A* pathfinding and maze generation in Python2024 · github.com · ▲135

    I was fascinated reading through another recent HN submission about a highly efficient implementation of A* in Lisp, which got me thinking about how I could do something similar in Python. However, these kinds of pathfinding algorithms really need complex terrain/mazes with interesting obstructions to showcase what they can do and how they work. So, I started thinking about how I could generate cool and diverse random "mazes" (they aren't really mazes, but I'm not sure what the best term is). I got a bit carried away thinking of lots of different cool ways to generate these mazes, such…
