ℹ️ About BallLab

BallLab is a live NEAT training arena where a population of bouncing balls learns to survive a dynamic, obstacle-filled track. Each generation evolves by rewarding distance traveled, and you can visualize the top agent’s neural network in real time.

Use the sliders to tune physics, sensor range, and track difficulty. When progress stalls, the lab automatically resets to push the next generation further.
