Built a functioning, testable (not yet accurate) Neural Network that takes in my input of heuristic data and output a direction.

Since the puzzle states were strings, I wanted the output to be the value added to the index of the “_” to move to a new position but negative values cannot be used as targets or labels in neural network so instead I coded them using values 0-3 to represent each move.

I created a function that takes in the output of the neural network and converts it to a move for the puzzle.

Also know which specific layers I need to experiment with make my neural network be accurate.
