AI Flappy bird

Ahh! The classic flappy bird game where you could just tap the screen & avoid the pipes. It was so great back then. I tried to use NEAT Algorithm to create an AI capable of playing flappy bird.

Description

This project mainly uses NEAT algorithm to achieve the task of AI playing the game. All the players are scored based on their distance therefore more distance intrun gives more score. Thus, more chance of having an offspring.

Demo
