Building the Flappy Bird A.I. without LIBRARIES | Genetic Algorithm | Python/PyCharm

[@MaxRohowsky]

Just to be clear: While I did use Pygame to build the game, the AI is coded entirely from scratch without any additional ML or AI libraries.

[@LIGHTBULBCODING]

"Without using any libraries" *Proceeds to reference PyGame* Lol. Great video, and this is the only good tutorial that I have found, that shows you how to code the neural network from scratch. Thank you!

[@MaxRohowsky]

haha yes, I noticed that too late. I meant machine learning libraries :)

[@raccoon_05]

You really deserve more subs/views. These vids are amazing. I haven't even finished this yet but learned so much so far 👍👍👍

[@MaxRohowsky]

Hey Raccoon, thanks, glad you find them useful :)

[@cookiecrumbzi]

I kid you not when I say I was trying to make a neural network from scratch using numpy like 5 days ago. The timing couldn’t have been better

[@MaxRohowsky]

Well here you go :) and you don't even need numpy!

[@MrUnknown-il4pm]

This looks awesome!

[@MaxRohowsky]

Thanks!

Hi, this was an amazing video. Though I really wished you made the functions in order of how they were needed instead of completing one file after another. But still, very good video! I really want to ask how you were able to implement such a complex algorithm from scratch. Where did you learn this from? Have you implemented this before in other projects? Also, your code structure was really neat, how did you come up with that?

[@chillbeast_sheno]

yes bro deserve more views yt algorth agree

[@MaxRohowsky]

Haha thanks!!

[@felix_md64]

if we make more of champion babies instead of one, the algorithm shouldn't be faster ?

[@MohamedOsman-p2q]

is this a worth project on a resume

[@rafedagamer5573]

I have an error at the end of part 1 where when the ai stops flapping it drops and doesn’t try to flap again should I be concerned or should I just keep going

[@MaxRohowsky]

hey :) I would recommend trying to understand why this is happening before proceeding.

[@tomasznieznane8752]

It works great, but even when learned, players can't jump high enough to get through the pipes at the top. How to make it pass through all pipes?

[@MaxRohowsky]

Siema Tomasz :) I think the easiest way would be to adjust how the pipes spawn. That will spare you the effort of adjusting the net and bird. pozdrawiam!

[@felix_md64]

why does the pipes blink when the one juste before is deleted ?

[@qzdoiqzdkhqzdkjhg]

i had the same issue, i think i did something wrong but i fixed it and it works normally, i just added "config.pipes[0].draw(config.window)" just after the "config.pipes.remove(p)" in the for loop since when we remove pipes p (that was pipes[0]) we dont draw the pipes[0] anymore but pipes[1] just became pipes[0] so it wasnt drawing for one frame

[@qzdoiqzdkhqzdkjhg]

when i say "i did something wrong" its bc i maybe didnt config the same way as in the video buts it doesnt matter it works normally this way

[@felix_md64]

@@qzdoiqzdkhqzdkjhgokay thank you. I will go back to this project. I struggled a lot and the ai didn't work after multiple try so i rage quit lol

[@qzdoiqzdkhqzdkjhg]

@@felix_md64 i had problems with the neural network too but it was just a miss spell, sometimes u just have to read ur code again, patience always works

[@zheli2417]

Hi love you video, what is the software you use to draw image thx

[@MaxRohowsky]

Hey, I just used photoshop.

[@oisinforde6363]

Nice video, really well done. But I'm curious if you know how hard it would to do this without pygame

[@MaxRohowsky]

replacing pygame would be easy. The AI which is the hard part doesnt rely on pygame at all :D. So you only need to find another way to draw the boxes and lines that make the bird, pipes and ground

[@Windswpt]

@@MaxRohowsky It's really easy, actually. Most people overcomplicate it, but it's as simple as using a list and some ansi colors. I actually made a library to simplify the process further (when used right it can do some pretty cool stuff!)

[@vinhintw]

Why we need i3 input

[@MaxRohowsky]

I think it will still work without.

[@anubhav8366]

I am willing to contribute with you!

[@MaxRohowsky]

Hi Anubhav, what exactly do you mean? :)

[@anubhav8366]

Over github 😊
