I took this as an opportunity to get started with basic machine learning tasks. With the recent release of TensorFlow.js and my growing Javascript experience, I figured now was a perfect time to start tinkering!
Feel free to clone the repo and play around! The sketch.js file contains all of the core logic and is fairly well documented.
