Hi Marcus, I have tested a couple of methods of interprocess communication over the week. Using TCP sockets are very fast indeed and libraries like ZeroMQ help implement them with nearly negligible effort. Another method that I did try was to use a producer-consumer queue. The producer and the con

Hi Marcus, This looks very feasible along with being cool and intuitive. We could implement a system where a user who is a beginner can just choose an environment and input a particular pre-built methods and can compare different methods through visualizations and the actual emulation of the game e

Hello Sayan​, thanks for looking into the different methods, I think one thing to remember here is that in most cases we observe the environment at a specific time and based on that observation we perform a specific action. So I don't think the producer-consumer pattern is necessary here, there is

Hi Marcus, Making pre-trained models sounds good however we'll have to pick the most popular or easiest environments for this at least in the start. For meaningful metrics other than iterations we could have use the *score* of the game which is the best possible metric and also the *time* it takes
