How I build this project: It was mid-2013 when I wanted to apply what I've learned from the MOOC CS188.1x Artificial Intelligence offered at edx.org. Around December 2013, I joined a bootcamp held in my university (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore) in which some of the speaker came from Mozilla. Here, I learned a lot of stuffs on JavaScript (they also introduced us to HN). Later, I thought of applying what I've learned to a game. I then started the project and finished it during January 2014.

Awesome! It's wonderful to see these kind of side projects for deliberate practice.

I also expect to build some of these at http://ai-maker.com/

Thanks for sharing it and congratulations!

Nice job, do you recommend the Artificial Intelligence MOOC? Is it fun?

It's amazing. Although quite time-consuming, the projects are nice: it was building an AI for Pac-man to maximize its score in various scenarios.

The next offering is starting soon:
