think about it like this:

with a 10 minutes training the neural network takes about 8 shots to hit the target, so as the player, you have 8 shots to hit it before it hits you.

after 20 minutes of training the nn would take about 4 shots to hit you... so on and so forth.

the original idea was to have several levels of difficulty and distribute them across the game levels.

levels 1-10 poorly trained nn levels 2-20 better trained nn levels 30 and above you got one shot before the nn hits you.

anyway, it was just an idea

Never just an idea. Remove the "just". It is a realised idea and it was important that you execute the idea and, to whatever useful extent, finish it. Don't allow that negative wordplay. Don't make light of this and think there are no consequences in keeping that diminishing, passivity inducing "just".
This is the light that shines through cynicism - the light that makes people brave enough to post new stuff.
I'll remember that. Thanks
On point! So much harder to execute and create something real and tangible than pontificate.
This poster is correct - “just” takes away from yourself, it’s an idea.
