Hi Guys, as my university project I want to program a neural network to be able to learn and play tetris or another similar, but not too complex puzzle game. Could anyone tell me if programming neural networks is a difficult task...and if anyone knows any decent resources besides gamedev.net for beginners to neural network programming. Thanks DarkStar UK ------------------------------- Loves cross-posting because it works

First of all: GOOGLE! A thread like this comes up like three times a week, and we are always repeating ourselves:
ai-depot.com
ai-junkie.com
gameai.com
generation5.org

To be more constructive:

Understanding HOW neural nets work is not very difficult. And as long as you have a good understanding of programming you wouldn''t find it too hard to implement. Lots of matrix-stuff basically.

Understanding WHY neural nets work and their theory/background is a lot more difficult.

Suggest looking at fup''s tutorial first.
