Score: 7.3/10 (Innovation: 8, Technical: 8, Documentation: 7, Utility: 6)

A TypeScript rewrite of the classic Soldat jetpack shooter that evolved into a self-playing AI arena, where bot brains compete and train neural networks from match recordings. It features headless simulation, replay system, and an AI training pipeline that allows Claude to act as a bot coach.

Target audience: game developers, ai researchers, ml engineers
