Games played by Laya
Games are the most popular way to show what a fast decision model can do. Each frame becomes a state, the model answers a typed question, and the game acts on the answer. The best demos also show where Laya needs help from ordinary code.

Snake on a Mac from laya-mlx:
pip install 'laya-mlx[demo]'
hf download aac6fef/laya-multilingual-mlx
laya-snake
The README reports 75.40 moves/s over 2,400 moves on an M3 Max with --optimize --max-speed, with zero deaths and two visible safety interventions. laya-coreml has a Neural Engine version at 49.1 to 50.0 decisions/s.
Flappy Bird on an Intel CPU from flappy-laya-openvino-cpu, with one noul question per frame:
pip install -r requirements.txt
python flappy_bird.py
Its README reports a mean 28 ms per decision with the INT8 OpenVINO model.

What the demos teach
- Describe the state in words. In laya-pong, the model matched the reference controller when the state was a sentence and never moved when it was three numbers. The Flappy Bird author saw the same effect: with a JSON dict the model answered about 0.9 on every frame.
- Make options phrases. "move the paddle up" beat "up" in laya-pong: 5/5 correct against 3/5.
- Keep a planner and a safety layer. The Snake and T-Rex demos use planner features and a safety layer that can override unsafe moves. Their scores measure the whole system, not the model alone, and the READMEs say so.
