Python Pong AI Tutorial - Using NEAT

Welcome back to another video! At the beginning of this video you'll see an AI teaching itself how to play the game of Pong. It's doing it by using an algorithm called NEAT which stands for Neuro Evolution of Augmented Topologies. Now in this video I'm going to explain how this works and implement into this game! While it is focused on Pong, you can take what you learn and implement it into other projects, so I hope you enjoy and learn from this video!
