A Perceptron in Age of Empires II
A developer has successfully constructed functional logic gates and a basic perceptron using the scenario editor in the video game Age of Empires II. The project uses game units as signal carriers to demonstrate computational concepts within a non-traditional environment.
Why it matters
This project demonstrates the Turing-completeness of game engines and highlights creative approaches to teaching computer science fundamentals through interactive simulations.

This one can also be built within the game in a two-player setup but it's a lot easier (so to speak) to just script it.
