This repository contains a 3D engine build from scratch that is capable of simulating downhill rolling of common deep learning optimizers

Currently it can:

• Initialize the optimization landscape to a custom function

• Edit the landscape post initialization

• Optimize!

Simply install the packages in requirements.txt and g++ and call python run.py

If you want to, you can edit the configuration file config.json or specify another one by runing with -config=path

Move with WASD, press RMB to move the camera

Keys from 1 - 5 change the input mode

1 - free movement

2 - landscape painting

3 - visualizer postion change

4 - running the optimization

5 - text input custom function to initialize landscape

It obviously isn't a gamechanger in 3D or ML so why? The only purpose for creating this was to teach myself the basics of 3D graphics - how to actually rasterize triangles, calculate lightning, shade individual pixels, move the camera etc.
