Could you build this?
Partial A simple exhaustive search solver for Block Blast is vibe-codeable, but training a high-performing reinforcement learning value network requires specialized RL architecture, state representation, and compute training loops.
What it would actually take: Requires implementing an efficient simulator of the Block Blast game rules in C++ or Python with bitboard representations for fast state transitions. The solver integrates Monte Carlo Tree Search or beam search with a deep neural network value model trained via self-play or policy-value iteration (e.g., AlphaZero-style architecture) using PyTorch, requiring GPU training compute.
