I designed a novel AI using an evolutionary algorithm called Cartesian Genetic Programming to learn to play the popular flappy bird. In most cases, it takes less than 50 generations to yield a good AI. If you feel boring to watch the birds learn, you can compete with the current AI anytime by adding a human player. For more instructions, please check README. The underlying theory is also explained in the associated GitHub repository.

Shortcut keys

• CTRL+H: add a human player (a blue bird) at any time

• SPACE or UP ARROW: flap the human player's bird

• CTRL+P: pause/continue game

• CTRL+K: switch ON/OFF sound effect (repl.it doesn't support sounds yet)

  If you want to accelerate the evolution process, you can speed up the game by

• CTRL+1: speed x1

• CTRL+2: speed x2

• CTRL+3: speed x3

See if you can do better than an infant AI!
