Using RL is an interesting project and can result in very strong AI, but projects like AlphaZero take very large amount of computation.

I've trying something similar now, and I agree with Brian Sandberg.

My advice is to find a javascript framework (React, Vue, Svelte) that clicks with you, and learn it properly. You're going to have to do a whole bunch of “mucking about with the UI” regardless, but from my experience so far (with Sv…
