#2Watched this for a solid three minutes and flappy birds never made it past the third column. Painful.
Edit: generation 25 got 10k points and was continuing onward when I stopped. Beautiful.

#3This is really cool, and I'm nowhere near smart enough to understand fully how it works, but I'm wondering. Is the "computer" blind in this case? It doesn't seem to understand, even after 50~ runs, that it needs to aim for the opening. It seems to simply go after luck, hoping that some line up. And if it lines up a few times, it will get further, so it is learning something, but still not seeing the change the next time.
Edit: Seeing the new comments here, it seems like it only starts learning after you refresh once or twice. Very cool!

#4Generation 48. What about you guys?
Re: NeuroEvolution – Flappy Bird
#5Generation 48. What about you guys?
Generation 22 @ 17k points and rising. Looks perfect now?

#6When I first watched it, nothing changed for about 200 generations (thanks for the x5 speed up). I wanted to comment on that, but decided to reload first. Now my 12th generation is flapping for a good two minutes while im writing this comment.
It seems only the second time there was machine learning involved.

#7At generation 83, a single bird emerged that successfully navigated through several hundred columns (current score 100000+) and showed no signs of failing.
It took a few dozen generations to find versions that would make it through a few columns if those columns had gaps without too much vertical distance between them. Somewhere in generation 60-70, I could see versions figuring out how to transition between heights, but failing by overshooting, or not accounting for gravity on the far side of the gap. But once it figured out how to transition between distant heights, it had something that kept working.

#8Wow, this was so cool. Generation 17, two birds, 18K points, still going. I wan't to learn machine learning now...

#9Can anyone give me insight on where the code learning is? I cloned the repository and after a quick glance I don't see where the "meat" is.

It is a using a genetic algorithm so learning lies in the mutation and crossover of chromosomes as well as selection of the fittest individuals.
