I disagree about changing the track. It should be changed every iteration. If the track is not changed every iteration, the NN might develop to work in specific scenarios (only turning left for example) and when run on a different track, might fail miserably.

On a track with both right and left turns that wouldn't have been the case.

While I agree that exposing the NN to diverse tracks each iteration asures a thorough learning, I was kind of curios how susceptible the algorithm is to exploit irelevant particularities of a track instead of finding the general rule.

I wish the creator will add the posiblity to chose if the track should be changed each iteration or only after at least one car completed it.
