Neural Networks - The Bird Brains

A Neural Network is like a tiny brain inside each bird. It helps them decide when to flap:

  1. Inputs: The bird "sees":
  2. How far the next pipe is.
  3. The height of the pipe’s gap.
  4. Where the bird is flying right now.
  5. Thinking: The neural network mixes these clues with numbers to guess: "Should I flap?"
  6. Output: It says "Flap!" or "Don’t flap!" and the bird listens.

Game Connection: At first, the guesses are random, so birds crash. But the genetic algorithm keeps the best guessers, so later birds flap smarter!
