A.I. Learns to play Flappy Bird

It's funny how this shows us that a popular game like flappy bird could be made in a literal day

AI: “what is my purpose?”

"I'm gonna make an AI that can play a particular video game well in 24 hours!" "Sounds like an impressive time-" "So step 1 is to reinvent the entire game." "... what."

I was wondering why he didnt use the actual game but then I remembered...

He didn't just make an AI, he also recreated the game

me: watches this in summer

Did we just watch a guy flex on us about his coding skills for 7 mins?

“I tried to make it christmasy but somehow I just broke everything”

"I tried to make it Christmasy but somehow I just broke everything"

Plot twist: the perfect AI was achieved at Gen 1 when the birds just went straight up above the top pipes and flew above all of it off the screen

I liked that it only took 6 gens to perfect it only shows how stupidly simple the game is

I like how you went to all that trouble to make sure the bird could see a bunch of different things... and then, literally the only input it make use of was the distance to the bottom pipe. lmao

The faster it gets the more it feels like it's going backwards.

AI: What is my purpose?

You haven’t taken into account the increase in speed as the game goes on; and it probably makes the variability of the heights of the gaps even harder to maneuver with, and that’s another level of difficulty for a machine-learning algorithm that emulates the rational aspect of human learning;

The time it takes for this video is truly remarkable. The coding, editing, animation. I hope you have a team and it’s not just you cause wow.
