Brain.js: Support for evolutionary algorithms like Neat

[dan-ryan]

Will Brain.js look into adding evolutionary algorithms like Neat?

Neatapatic was the best library for this but now is unmaintained so it would be nice if there was a replacement :)

Here is Neat learning Mario:

We would welcome it! Would you be up for helping with the cause?

My knowledge of the details is very limited. But I'm happy to help where I can.

This is the Neat paper:

This explains Neat:

The author of Neataptic explains the improvements he did:

Here are some newer papers on neuroevolution:

I see both Brain.js and Neataptic have the same MIT licence, so that will help.
