🎮 Flappy Bird NEAT AI

Welcome to a colorful Flappy Bird clone where an AI learns to fly using NEAT (NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies) — watch neural networks evolve to master the game!

---

✨ Features

• 🧠 AI-powered gameplay using NEAT to evolve bird behavior
• 🌈 Smooth animations and polished visuals
• 📈 Score tracking and fitness evaluation
• 🧩 Modular design: Bird, Pipe, Base, and Game loop

---

🚀 Getting Started

1) Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• Dependencies:
  • pygame
  • neat-python

2) Install

pip install pygame neat-python

3) Run

python flappy.py

• The NEAT config is loaded from config-feedforward.txt (already included).
• A window will open and the AI will start learning over generations.

---

🕹️ How It Works (Quick Overview)

• Each bird is controlled by a small neural network.
• Inputs include the bird's y position and distances to the next pipe openings.
• Networks are evolved with NEAT over generations to maximize survival and score.

🧪 Tuning Tips

• Adjust pipe gap in Pipe.GAP for difficulty.
• Modify bird physics in Bird.move() for different behavior.
• Evolve more generations by changing p.run(main, 50) in flappy.py.
