What it does

A class competition where students train tiny neural networks to play Connect Four. Each student trains a small network right in the browser, either by imitating a built-in opponent or by evolving it, and submits a plain file of numbers, so no student code ever runs on the ladder. A round-robin ladder rates every bot, also ranks them by strength for their size, and awards milestones, while a replay viewer flags missed wins and blocks move by move. Experiment results export as tables for a lab report.

Good to know

There are no accounts or shared server, so the instructor runs the official ladder by loading every file into one browser.
