you don't actually need a nested loop to check whether or not a bird hit a pipe, because you don't need a loop to check the pipes, all the bird always have the same x value, so only one pipe can hit by a bird and not all of the pipes. you can test a hit only with the closest pipe which will be closest to all of the birds.

"coding challenges" is the most topic I like!!! Encourage me to film the video every week, what I want is to make people who love coding enjoy that! Thank a lot ～

you know i just finshed like 9h from youre vidos and i relly have to say that i relly wana work with you youre the only one i know that he have fun in the vidos i wanna be like you youre having fun with coding gl man and keep it up youre the best

accounting for the the pipe width should be unnecessary because the birds that do not account for them will get weeded out. The way that the birds will learn about pipewidth is by adjusting their biases which will represent such, and other, constants in the world.

I would totally watch the gaming train.

I found the flappy bird challenge quite interesting, so I tried coding it in python myself, but strange things happened. Instead of being more intelligent over time, my birds actually did worse over time, until most of them just hit the first pillar. BUT for an unknown reason, while randomly generating them, I found a few "perfect" birds that never hit the pillars. I managed to save their brains in a few files, but I just don't understand why they exist, when no other bird managed to perform nearly as well, and when they are supposed to be random :s
