Get the Free Source CodeFull NEAT implementation from scratch
Species, crossover, mutation, genomic distance, stagnation detection — the complete neuroevolution pipeline in clean C++ headers.
Watch the AI learn in real time
SFML-powered game visualization lets you watch neural networks evolve from random movement to intelligent snake gameplay.
Genome serialization with protobuf
Save and load trained genomes using Protocol Buffers. Includes pre-trained winner genomes you can visualize immediately.
Clean, readable architecture
Header-only NEAT library separated from the Snake game logic. Fitness functions, input encoding, and controllers are all clearly isolated.
