Python Flappy Bird AI Tutorial (with NEAT) - Pixel Perfect Collision w/ Pygame

This python flappy bird AI tutorial will cover creating moving pipes on the screen as well as implementing pixel perfect collision between our birds and pipes. This is an example of using pygame masks to accomplish pixel perfect collision with pygame.

*procedes to draw PERFECT lines arround the bird and the pipe*

Ngl when I start seeing your videos I don't even want to press back button and close your video until the video ends, thank you so much

I see what you did there Tim

A small point to add regarding the mask discussion. The "pygame.mask.from_surface" is checking where are all the non-transparent pixels in the two images, since that's what the player actually sees. It then checks if those non-transparent elements are colliding or not. That's why, even if the bounding boxes overlap, it's not regarded as a collision unless the content itself is transparent.

This series is fantastic! im very much a beginner but this strikes the right balance between being difficult enough to keep me interested and simple enough that i can just about get my head around most of it. Really will made and explained! cant believe this kind of quality lessons is here for free!

Hey, awesome tutorial. I'm skipping some parts because I'm more interested in the A.I. part, but for someone into game design, this must be really helpful. Nice job :))

It would be great if you write on caption easier to find us

[ramenspicy]

this is an awesome series. Love your videos and I can't wait for the next one :))

Im 14 years old and i started learning coding like 1 month ago and i found your videos interesting and they are helping me a lot so first thank you so much but i have to ask you something my laptop isnt working anymore and i need to buy a new one so can you make a video telling us top 5 laptops for coding like a budget one, the best one etc.. Keep up like this You're doing a perfect job helping us. Bye.

I totaly love your videos, the way that you explain is amazing : ) keep it up

[techtutorials]

That flagged whitespace is killing me!!!!

[erictronic]

I really liked your tutorial dude. Great motivation to learn something new

[extreme]

thanks for that masks explanation bit. It was great!

[shujamukhtar]

the program gives me an error at line 100:
'Pipe' object has no attribute self.set_height().
What should I do?

6:50 "make this look a little bit NEATer" 😀😀😁😁😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[AgentRex]

Great tutorial. Can't wait to see your next tutorial. ;)

Why do we need to make boxes around the bird and pipe can't we just check if the masks collided or not?

[mrfrozen-despicable]

Very good))).Understood everything 👍
Jst wonder if base was symmetrical no need to move it

[Gunsi-kbxq]

Hey Tim... start using MSFT Whiteboard... it's so good and way better than paint... just saying ;-)

[caoxiangxing]

it seems like the top offset is incorrect, because you really want to calculate the y direction distance from the top pipe lower edge to bird, am I right? it should be:top_offset = (self.x - bird.x, self.height-round(brid.y))
