edit0: It's an old project, and I was a complete novice in machine learning when I did it, but I'm keeping it because I like it.

edit1: converting from VStudio project to cmake project.

flappybird-neuralnetwork-geneticalgorithm-cpp

All the codes were made by me.

The goal was to implement a neural network in the game flappybird.

The project creates an instance of a flappy bird game. Then, it trains a neural network using genetic algorithm.

Installation

install cmake on linux:

• sudo apt update
• sudo apt install cmake

Install SFML dependecies

• sudo apt install libsfml-dev libx11-dev libxrandr-dev libxcursor-dev libudev-dev libfreetype-dev libopenal-devlibflac-dev libvorbis-dev ibgl1-mesa-devlibegl1-mesa-dev

Use cmake to build the project

• Open the terminal inside the project root folder
• cd flappybird-neuralnetwork-geneticalgorithm-cpp
• using CMAKE to build the project:
  • mkdir build
  • cd build
  • cmake ..
  • cmake --build .
  • ./flappy_nn

In software hotkeys:

• Space: accelerate the simulation.
