A Race Car that learns to drive! Built using NEAT and Pygame written in Python. NEAT stands for neuro evolution of augmenting topologies and is a genetic algorithm that creates artificial neural networks.
- A.I. Learns to DRIVE #1 - Setup & Display Car
- A.I. Learns to DRIVE #2 - The Driving Car
- A.I. Learns to DRIVE #3 - Radars
- A.I. Learns to DRIVE #4 - Adding the A.I.
Requirements: You must have Python installed and preferably a code editor like PyCharm.
- Clone the repository
- In the terminal, navigate to the directory where the repository was cloned, e.g.,
C:\Users\Max\PycharmProjects\DriveAI - Create a virtual environment, activate it, and install pygame by running the following commands in the terminal:
python -m venv venv #This creates a virtual environment venv\Scripts\activate #This activates the virtual environment pip install -r requirements.txt #This installs the required libraries
- Run the game by running the following command in the terminal:
python main.py
Note on PyCharm: Often PyCharm detects the requirements and asks you to install them and create a virtual env.
Afterwards, the interpreter will be set to the virtual environment, and you can run the game by clicking the green play button in the top right corner.
- You don't need to control the car. The AI will do that for you :)
- pygame: Pygame is a cross-platform set of Python modules designed for writing video games.
- NEAT: NEAT is a method developed by Kenneth O. Stanley for evolving arbitrary neural networks.
