Flask_AI

A web site created with Python Flask, to showcase Artificial Intelligence projects. Further to this an API to create nodes on a grid, so all the code previously coded in Javascript can be rewritten in Python. The idea behind this project is to improve upon my Python for the next upcoming University module.
