Published on: 2025-08-15 00:06:39

What if a Tamagotchi had a neural network and could learn stuff? Dosidicus electronicae A digital pet with a simple neural network [research project] Includes detailed tools for visualising and understanding how neural networks and Hebbian learning work requires PyQt5 and numpy Check releases: https://github.com/ViciousSquid/Dosidicus/releases/ Autonomous Behavior: The squid moves autonomously, making decisions based on his current state (hunger, sleepiness, etc.). Implements a vision cone for food detection, simulating realistic foraging behavior. Neural network can make decisions and form associations Weights are analysed, tweaked and trained by Hebbian learning algorithm Experiences from short-term and long-term memory can influence decision-making Squid can create new neurons in response to his environment (Neurogenesis) I'm trying to document everything!
