Hi, author here - that's a great point. When I first saw those results and how inaccurate they were, I thought there was a chance it was returning me an overfitted actual input image from training. Most likely not, but they were so rea

Hi, author here - I didn't specify that part, which is exactly why I love that image. The full prompt was "Action photo of a llama in a jersey dunking a basketball like Michael Jordan, dramatic backlighting, anime key visuals.&quo

For now we'll be running weekly leaderboard matches, with the first one being for bots submitted by 11.59PM this Sunday UTC. After the matches, you'll be able to review your bot replays. The longer-term goal would be to have an au

Prizes are still TBD - most likely will be a mix of cash prizes and/or merch. We're planning a proper tournament launch with prize pool and streams ETA ~Dec. You can think of this as an early-access playground to get familiar with

Getting the platform to the point where people can spend most of the time on the actual training and experiments (and less on the infrastructure) is our current goal. We do have a forward model simulator which should let you step through th

We usually encourage people to open-source their code after the competition so that the community improves over time (but only if they're open to it). Speaking of Tensorflow, we're working on some ML starter kits and would love so

No others (at the moment). We're a small team so Bomberland is our current focus - we want to improve the tooling first so that it's easy for people to dive into ML before we introduce other environments. We do have a mini-project

That is definitely a strategy :) Have seen people try imitation learning in other AI programming challenges too -- although usually they perform worse than the original agent they imitate.

Thanks for the feedback! We're working on improving the onboarding flow. Sorry about the Docker link issue - it should link you to a copy of the environment binary so that you can play around without Docker (no docs for this workflow j

Speaking of Pommerman, we caught up recently with the organizer. While unfortunately Pommerman is no longer running, he was super helpful in giving us some advice for Bomberland. It'd be awesome if there were previous participants of P

Nice work looks awesome! Looks like there are some parallels in our websocket implementation too.

Yes this could happen. Ideally, we would run enough matches so that over time this would average out and the better AI should come out on top.

Thanks for the question! Where CodinGame and TopCoder are great platforms for competitive programming, solvable programming problems and short-form competitions, our longer-term focus is more on open-ended, ongoing sandbox simulations that

Hey HN, I'm Joy from Coder One. This is an early version of our upcoming Bomberman-inspired AI competition. Bomberland is an intentionally challenging environment for ML featuring non-trivial problems like real-time decision-making, la
