FlappyBot

The original game is created by Daniel Shiffman. http://codingtra.in

This version is modified to be played by an Artificial Neural Network.

How it works

This Flappy Bird clone is played by an ANN which uses a genetic algorithm to train. The algorithm trains by selecting the highest performing network out of a population and making those traits more likely to occur in future "generations," slowly increasing the average fitness of the AI over time.

How to install

1. Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/mcjcloud/FlappyBot.git
2. Run npm install in both the Flappy-Bird-Clone and nn directories
3. Install an http-server: npm install -g http-server
4. From the Flappy-Bird-Clone directory, run http-server
5. From the nn directory, run http-server
6. Navigate to whatever address the Flappy-Bird-Clone http server is serving on.

Note: You can change the port that the Flappy Bird game looks for the neural network code on in Flappy-Bird-Clone/index.html
