Pong - Player Vs. AI

Got distracted with exams and forgot to do devlogs, so this may be a bit long: I finished the entire code for the game, adding the new AI. I used NEAT-Python to train the AI, and trained it for 100 iterations (training time is not counted as coding time for Stardance). The training took around 3 hours, and the actual coding of the AI took about 8 hours. Great use of time during exams (this is also my computer science final project, so not actually a waste of time). Apparently, coding AIs is hard (thank you whoever made NEAT-Python’s documentation, it’s very useful). I also made it modular, meaning you can easily change it to be player vs. NEAT AI, NEAT AI vs. basic (ball’s y-cord following) “AI”, or any other combination. I also wrote a detailed README in Google Docs, so it didn’t count towards my time :(. Now all I have to do is figure out how to make this run in a browser, and I’ll be done.

Made Pong with a controllable player and a very basic “ai” that just moves to the balls y-cords
