What type of "ML solution" to the same problem would take less than 5 hours?

For the record, it took me about 30 minutes of playing, reverse-engineering, and writing the bot. So, indeed, no need for an ML solution :)

You are right about the time, but 1D Pac-Man might still be a good fun toy problem to hone your ML skills on.
