Breakout AI using NEAT

This project implements a Breakout game AI using the NEAT (NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies) algorithm. The AI controls the paddle in the Breakout game, trying to maximize its fitness by breaking as many blocks as possible.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Pyxel
• NEAT-Python
• Matplotlib

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Fbrrrr/breakout-ai.git
   cd breakout-ai

2. Install the required packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

1. Run the BreakoutAI.py script:

   python BreakoutAI.py

2. The AI will start training, and you will see the current generation, highest fitness, and average fitness displayed on the screen.

File Descriptions

• BreakoutAI.py: The main script that runs the Breakout game and trains the AI using NEAT.
• config-feedforward.txt: Configuration file for NEAT.
• requirements.txt: Lists the required Python packages.
