Videos of the brain controlling the game are available:
Video 1: early stages of learning about 4 hours of learning
Video 2: slightly advanced, about 13 hour of learning
Video 3: more advanced, notice the collision detection and change of direction, about 42 hours of learning
Video 4: most advanced with combat, over 9 days of learning
