+_Running through all digits_
+
+[bevmnist][bevmnist-itch.io] by [@FrancoisMockers] is a PoC for running
+inferences from a neural network in a game made with [bevy], that can run in
+WASM (source code on [github][bevmnist-github]).
+
+Using [tract], the goal was to test running neural network inferences from a
+game. [MNIST handwritten digits classification][MNIST] is the "hello world" of
+neural networks, and has small enough networks available in [onnx] format that
+can run in real time in WASM. This project also has github actions that will
+build and release a [bevy] game to itch.io for Linux, macOS, Windows and WASM.
