A Vision Program that teaches itself the game

[yash101]

I am taking an AI/ML course online. I am just wondering if it would be FEASIBLE (I know it is possible) to create a vision system that learns the game by itself?

While it would seem quite hard, instead of writing a different program every year, it could be possible to write one program to play each game.

Such a program would need to be taught the game, what it needs to do. However, it would also need to learn how to use itself.

The last question I have is, has this ever been done? It seems extremely hard so it would be pointless to reinvent the wheel.

What would be the best environment to build something like this in? Currently, I am learning with Octave, however, OpenCV seems to have a lot of useful components, including the ML module.
