So, I have never used Pygame before, and I think that it is a silly idea to use code I have never used before in Ludum Dare. So I am a bit late to the warmup part, but I am setting up to do my warmup game. I love AI\u00a0algorithms, and I\u00a0like\u00a0applying them to video games, so I want to try and apply a genetic\u00a0algorithm\u00a0to a really simple geometry wars clone, so hopefully, with each level the enemies will get more\u00a0adjusted\u00a0to killing the player.<\/p>\n

Quick, tell me why this is a crazy idea and I might listen (or I might ignore you, I do my best work when doing crazy ideas)<\/p>\n
