Launch Flappy

This project is an implementation of a Flappy Bird game with machine learning and genetic algorithm.

The purpose of this project is understanding how a population of Birds with artificial intelligence would evolve playing a Flappy Bird game;

It uses an artificial neural network per Bird entity with a 4-4-1 shape like so :

• 4 inputs
  • Bird y position
  • Bird y velocity
  • Pipe x position
  • Pipe y position
• 4 hidden nodes
• 1 output telling if Bird should jump

When an entire population dies, a genetic algorithm performs the selection of the best Bird entity, retrieve its artificial neural network, mutates it to create a new artificial intelligence for each new Bird of the next generation.

This game is built with the Theatre game framework generator (see : generator-theatre).
