FlappyLearning

Why we included this project

If you want to see how an evolutionary algorithm can train a neural network without backpropagation, this small project makes it easy to follow. It runs a neuroevolution library in the browser and learns to play Flappy Bird, with code short enough to read through in an afternoon. The standalone Neuroevolution.js file is the useful piece: it exposes options for population size, mutation, elitism, and breeding, so you can watch how each setting affects what the network learns. That makes it a good starting point for classroom demos or for getting comfortable with genetic training before moving to heavier frameworks, even if you would not build production software on it.
