you should do that too! the goal is not to replace the game but to foster research on these method, and hopefully apply them to data-constrained settings like robotics
I recently decided to turbo-teach myself basic cuda with a proper project. I really enjoyed Karpathy’s micrograd (https://github.com/karpathy/micrograd), so I extended it with cuda kernels and 2D tensor logic. It’s a bit longer than the original project, but it’s still very readable for anyone wanting to quickly learn about gpu acceleration in practice.
