In the videos, I often show hundreds of AI runs overlaid on top of each other. These ingame clips look nice and make the AI’s behaviour easy to visualize…
but they also take a while to p...
2025-12-03 14:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostI just trained the AI on A06, the 6th track in the campain. But this time, the results were a bit more disappointing!
One key trick on A06 is to use the ramps from the side to reduce airtime ...
2025-11-19 11:05:18 +0000 UTC View PostFinally, it’s time to leave A01 behind and move on to the next chapter! As I said at the end of my last video, I’ve been training the AI on the next campaign tracks, to see if it could also bea...

Here’s a visualization of the AI progressively improving its speed-drift technique on A01. I originally planned to include this footage in the A01 video, but later decided to cut it to avoid ...
In my previous post, I explained why I capped my AI to 20 actions per second in the A01 video. But action frequency wasn’t the only restriction: I also limited the AI to a fixed set of steering v...
2025-09-27 06:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostIn the A01 video, I explained that my AI can take 20 actions per second, using only a limited set of steering values. This is quite restrictive, since Trackmania allows up to 100 actions per secon...

2025-09-12 16:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the first of five bonus posts related to the A01 video! This clip is an extra section I originally cut from the main video to keep it shorter. It's a bit out-of-context so I'll give some ex...

More than a year ago, I trained my AI for the first time on a special track: A01-Race. It’s the very first level of Trackmania Nations Forever’s official campaign, and arguably the most iconic ...
2025-09-03 19:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostIn my upcoming video, we’ll take a deep dive into Trackmania Nations Forever’s very first, and arguably most iconic track: A01-Race.
As you might have seen in my previous posts, the video wi...
The first teaser was a bit different from my usual content. But this time, we’re back to some good old AI training!
2025-08-22 14:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostAlmost there! Here’s a first out-of-context sample from the video to help pass the time.
The video is nearly done, but I won’t have much time to work on it over the next few...
When I first started training a computer program to drive in Trackmania 5 years ago, I didn’t know much about AI. So over the years, I’ve had to continually teach myself about the field. A few ...

Just a quick update on how things are going: I'm about halfway through editing the next video! The second hal...
Lately, I’ve been creating a bunch of animations with Manim, a Python library that’s great for math visuals. It was originally developed for the math Youtube channel "3Blue1Brown". It’s conve...

I often get asked how I learned the AI stuff I'm showing in my videos, so I thought a post about that might interest some people here :)
In short, I started coding with the Python programmin...
Remember the teaser at the end of the noseboost video ?
As I mentioned then, my next AI video will dive into the world of Tool-Assisted-Speedruns (TAS). In particular, I'd like to explore ...
Last bonus video on the noseboost before finally moving on to new AI projects ;) There's a reason I didn't include the full run on the last track in the main video: at this speed and with the car s...

The trick I'm describing here (a slight perturbation of...
2025-02-20 07:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostIn the noseboost video, I mentioned reworking the AI’s training algorithm to push its limits. Here’s a more detailed explanation of what happened!
Reinforcement Learning is a vast field, ...
2025-02-14 11:54:34 +0000 UTC View PostAnother bonus from the noseboost video! This was the first map where I tested whether the AI could control its direction during a noseboost. The AI simply had to pass two ring checkpoints befo...

In March 2024, I started trying to train an AI to learn the hardest technique in Trackmania: the “noseboost”. And almost a year later, I’m happy to say I’ve reached the end of this journey...

The video should be ready next week, just a few more days!
The upcoming video is almost ready, just over 20 minutes long. Any idea what it's about? :)

That's it, finally, new video tonight!!
As you saw in the previous few teasers, I trained an AI to drive on pipes. I put the AI on three different tracks with one common goal: to beat the human ...

Can't wait to post the video when it's done, I'm very happy with how it looks so far
