What is ENNDO?
ENNDO is an experiment in neural network programming. It operates using a matrix of neurons which are modelled after the neurons inside our own brains. The complex web of connections between neurons is adjusted using positive and negative feedback, causing the network to learn over time.
What does ENNDO do?
Right now, nothing fancy. ENNDO can generate a neuron matrix, kickstart it with a burst of energy, and allow the energy to flow through the network of synapses. If a final layer output cell is triggered, it will call an external function. The neurochemical feedback system is the current focus, which will give ENNDO the ability to learn. The simulation core runs multiple iterations in order to identify the changes that feedback imparts on the system.
What will ENNDO do?
The first demonstration will be a simple tanks-in-a-maze game, with each tank controlled by an ENNDO brain. Eventually, ENNDO will be used to create an interactive ecosystem, where players can train creatures and then track their performance. This, of course, is a long, long, way off. Until then...
