It is an educational repo demonstrating how to build a real-time Snake game using a Diffusion model. It was inspired by several great papers:

• Google's Doom Diffusion (paper)
• Oasis (github)
• Diamond (paper)

The goal was to create a similar implementation using Snake game due its simple logic. It took near 2 months of different experiments to get a ready-to-play model.

If you don't have GPU, you can use runpod.io(paid service).

After several experiments, I selected the EDM diffusion model for its high performance with small sample steps. DDIM requires much more steps to achieve comparable quality.

Install required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

First, obtain the training dataset using one of these methods:

1. Download the prepared dataset:

bash scripts/download-dataset.sh

2. Or generate it manually:

python src/generate_dataset.py --model agent.pth --dataset training_data --record

Then start the training:

python src/train.py --model-type edm --output-prefix models/model --dataset training_data --gen-val-images

The model was trained on runpod.io for 32 epochs, taking approximately 27 hours at a cost of $10.

Download the pre-trained model:

git clone https://huggingface.co/juramoshkov/snake-diffusion models

To play the game, either:

1. Run Play.ipynb locally to play Snake at 1 FPS(it depends on your GPU) 🤓
2. Use runpod.io:
   • Deploy a Pod (RTX 4090 recommended for best performance)
   • Copy and run the contents of scripts/runpod.sh
   • Open Play.ipynb
