Self-Driving Car Project
Overview
This project is a self-driving car simulation implemented in JavaScript without any external libraries.
Learning
Basically the learning process happens by creating many different cars with different weights and baises randomly,
and every time you save the best car "brain" and refresh the game, a new set of cars will be created based on the last "brain" you saved, with a defined percentage of similarity to this brain.
In this way you can explore a vest field of random weights and baises at the same time to find the right parameters to avoid the obstacles.
Features
- Training Mechanism: The learning process involves creating multiple cars with random weights and biases.
- Saving Best Brain: Clicking on the 💾 button stores the "brain" (The values of the weights and biases) of the best-performing car in the browser's storage.
- Iteration: Clicking on the 🔂 button allows you to refresh the game, and generat a new set of cars with different brains, based on the last saved brain, with a defined percentage of similarity to that brain.
- Local Storage Support: Users can opt to save and load the "brain" from the local storage using the "save locally" and "load" buttons (📥, 📤).
- Customization: Users can specify the number of cars to create in each iteration (🚗), allowing for exploration of a wider range of random weights and biases.
Usage
- Setup: Clone the repository to your local machine.
- Open: Open the
index.html file in a web browser.
- Interaction:
- Click on the 💾 button once you find a successful car relative to others, to store the best-performing car's brain.
- Click on the 🔂 button to refresh the game with new cars based on the last saved brain.
- Adjust the number of cars (🚗) for each iteration as per your preference.
- Enjoy: Watch as the self-driving cars learn and adapt based on their performance.
Note
- Using a large number of cars may impact browser performance, while Using a low number of cars may mean that it will take a longer time to find a good car to work with.
- In a case of a bad choice of a car, a situation can happen where all the cars after it will learn this bad behavior and enter a state of incorrect learning.
- In case you don't like the best car brain you saved, and want to start the learning process again, you can use the 🗑️ button and delete the brain of the car you saved from the browser memory.
- You can load a pre trained brain file from the local storage to start with (📤).
