Artificial Intelligence Hackathon - Rule at Flappy Birds - UPDATED

Our sister Meetup Group: Python Hackathons is having a hackathon to re-design the addictive game Flappy Birds in python.

We are going to take their designs...and create artificially intelligent bots to beat these games.

Here’s the format…

• We will arrive at location TBD at 6 PM, Friday, January 4th
• We will Greet, Meet, & Eat
• Then we will review the different versions of the Flappy Bird game and everyone can select the versions of the games they want to attack.
• You will then join the team working on that game or work by yourself, whatever works best for you.
• The groups will get together and start brainstorming their bots, plan their builds, and get to typing on some sweet neural nets.
• You can stay as late as you want/need.
• We will pause periodically during the hack-a-thon to review each other's work
• At 4 PM the next day, (Jan 5th) we will stop, show our work, have the bots play the games, see how far they get, and celebrate our collective awesomeness!
