It's fun, but it's cheating a bit if you use numpy. Can someone implement one with all the matrix math from scratch too?

I don't see why using matrix math shouldn't be viewed as a basic primitive. Implementing a matrix library would obscure the point that is being made.

Looks great. Even got yourself a genetic algorithm in there, eh? How well does it work?

The genetic algorithm currently isn't in a working state unfortunately. I did a big architectural rewrite recently and haven't gotten around to GA stuff - but I'm looking forward to applying some more modern results in neuroevolution from the last two or three years.
