learnPongPython

This project that aims to build a model that learns how to play pong using python2.7

Requirements

Create a virtualenv that uses python2.7 along with pip

run pip install -r requirements.txt

How to train my model and play against him?

After installing the proper requirements.

1. Gather data: run python pong2player.py use the up/down keys for player on the right, and w/s for player on the left. To save the data one will have to loose after 4 points.

2. Train your model: train an elasticnet or 2Dconvolutional Network by running python -m training.elasticnet or python -m training.conv_model_keras.py. This could take quite a while. Keep in mind you'll need considerable data so play three games at least.

3. Deploy the model an play against it: run python self_pong.py and play against the player on the left. Have fun! (Disclaimer: depending on the human player's performance, on the left, that's how good the AI will be.
