AI learns to play Flappy bird using neural networks and genetic algorithm

[@howtosolveoptimizationprob8462]

Very cool to combine neural network with genetic algorithm. Great simulation

[@efrans5507]

Yes I agree its an interesting combination, genetic algorithms are a lot fun to play around with.
Thank you!

Thank you :)

Second neuron of first hidden layer is always red, it seems to be redundant. Any intuition behind what each neuron is calculating? Like some distance metric

Another masterpiece! 👌 👍

Thanks!

This is exceptional. I love the idea of an ensemble bird. Is this a relatively novel idea in nueral nets? Or commonplace?

[@efrans5507]

Thank you :)
Not sure about ensemble neural networks, but ensemble models are very common in machine learning.
