A Fable Experiment: Starting

About

I started off with a simple goal: port the game Soldat to Typescript. I ended up not only with the game, but with a full system to train AI bots to play my own game, building a neural net to train new bot AIs from tens of thousands of simulated matches with different strategies. It also runs live all the time on my website and has a news dashboard and you can replay any game exactly. It all was a very fun way to dig into Fable's capabilities.The bill if I had done this with API billing? Nearly $2000.

scope creep from a soldat port to a custom neural net is pretty wild

Which net architecture? Training costs must stack up fast.

why typescript specifically? must hit performance walls pretty fast.

turning a Soldat port into a full AI training pipeline is wild
