AI Learns to play Geometry Dash || Part 2 

Hey, I decided to make a part 3 to play some more levels as you guys requested! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A3JJsjZLRSo.html

This AI is WAY too human-like, it struggled with the triple spike. The AI takeover is upon us

the AI struggling at 63% for generations is pretty relatable tbh

The network literally found the MOST anxiety inducing way to fly through that part. I'm not sure if I like it or not.

Dang Generation 3 carried hard, that last cube seriously changed the Best Attempt from like 12% to 63% solo

It would be very interesting to see how the winner network would perform on a completely different level.

does it pain anyone else to see every single one of the artificial intelligence icons die to the same triple spike at 63% over and over until gen 11

Now that the ai is trained, I wonder how it would perform on harder and harder levels

I love how the nature of the AI means that it does the flight sections in a way that looks as half-assed as possible while still surviving

It would be nice to see the AI learn some harder levels

I love watching the nodes and connections change color. Since the input requirements are so simple, you can actually make sense of what the AI is thinking (unlike complicated networks)

You could probably make a script that runs while geometry dash is running, and have it control the mouse or space bar so you can train it on the other mains levels, and even custom player levels.

I live that you explained the why behind some of the code in the neural network part. Most people just make it and implement it without explaining to the viewer what it does, and why.

Dang! Distance to the next obstacle must have been a really good metric! They made it so far so fast!

you should make a part 3 and give it harder levels

Hey! Thanks for the part 2! I was super hyped for this 😁 Also thanks for featuring my comment in the video :O the game is looking a helluva lot better now too! Hats off to you good sir ;)

man not even the ai can handle that triple spike

Damn, amazing video! I love watching the AI "evolve"

I've been watching you for quite some time now. you deserve way more than 32k subs, your coding is phenomenal!

One of the rare channels where I have notifications enabled for! Your videos are really cool!

8:03 That leading player's straightfly was insane lol

I kept on forgetting this wasn’t the actual geometry dash! Amazing job, keep up the great work!

Such an underrated youtuber amazing video keep up bro 👍

You should make a level editor and release the full thing so that people can experiment with what the AI can beat

this is way to advanced, nice work dude

I'm studying Deep learning and Neural networks and play GD as well so this was pretty fun to watch and learn... My experience is still limited as I'm still a beginner but this inspired me to continue studying it to maybe build Neural nets like this in the future. Keep it up please.

The polargeist and back on track icons were the most intelligent ones

you should try to teach it to play randomly generated levels.

(yoo I'm in the video) The new version is MUCH better. You are very talented and I love your content. One pet peeve I have for GD clones is that they NEVER get the ship physics/rotation right. But I'm assuming it's very difficult to code. Keep up the good work 👍

been waitin for this video to come out

im trying to learn how to program and i would like to say, thanks for inspiring me and keep up the good work!!

i think i can make some kind of history of their quest to beat the triple spike so 20 cubes randomly started going and trying to beat a level, which seemed impossible for few generations. eventually, after 2 generations, they successfully got to 12% of the level. but, everything changed when a brave cube successfully beat the jump of the 12%, and exploring way furthermore. he got around 3 times further than everyone else, and people were shocked out. eventually, he learnt them about this, and how to do the big part of the level, but there was one problem... THE TRIPLE SPIKE! many considered it impossible, so they retreat trying to jump over a little spike. and much much more generations later, 4 people got to the triple spike, but only 3 made it over it. then a guy just died. and then right at the end, another flew into a wall. but one brave soul, successfully beat the level, making everyone shocked and being a legend to this day.

Super cool!!! Good job man👍👍

Please continue working on it, it's amazing!

This video was very fun to watch. Very cool (:

Just a few things I noticed: First, there’s no coins, although to be fair, would be something else you would also have to code, which if it was me, would to be lazy to do. And second, I noticed the ai had some trouble with the 3 spike jumps. If that’s the case, it could also be a good idea to hard code the timings for the more difficult jumps so it doesn’t need to take as many attempts to learn it.

Every single time you upload, I look at it and think "Oh, a Code Bullet upload!" then I look closer and realize it's actually a Code Noodles video! I swear one of these days it'll be the other way around

remember that straight flying (I don't think you know what it is) could look off because of the ship gravity (just helping). also keep up the great work.

Your avatar makes me hungry. Also great video man

Honestly, very cool! You should try(if you want) making it look at actual geometry dash, recognize obstacles and finish level. Would be very cool to see tbh.

It's cool seeing a person try to make ai play video games.

I think the giving the AI ray casts that can detect obstacles would be more interesting than just the distance to the nearest obstacle. I'm pretty sure these 2 simple inputs are nowhere near enough to play the later levels of the game (Expect if the neural network is so big that it can overfit, but that's lame).

I'm actually pretty surprise that a neural network this simple can perform this good in a few generations, good job ;

he's like code bullet... but edible!!! great videos by the way 😊

I waited do long to see part 2 of this

pls do part 3 with other levels i love this!

Spikes in gd have a small hitbox so you can go in the spikes a little bit. It makes triple spikes less evil.

amazing video as usual

Cool, I also thought about making a neuron that will play in the GD, but I wanted to make it play in the normal version using screenshots from the screen. But I did not find a normal way to quickly get screenshots, and my programming skills were then insufficient for something other than Python, + the genetic algorithm is too long, since you need to run a level for each check

I wonna see how AI will try other levels in geometry dash!!! It's really interesting

5:38 this AI was absolutely goated despite being only the 3rd generation

I think the reason it was struggling so much was because the ones that did better at jumping did worse at flying a way to fix this could be by making 2 separately categories of players being both flying and jumping and putting the best of the 2 together as the goat

It was really suprising that the AI got through (most of) the new challenges first try, I believe if this generation was put into Back on track it would do pretty well!

I hope you get payed for this massive work.

That flying part gave me so much anxiety, I cant even explain the amount

I watched the first part right on the day you made part 2 lol 😂

Geometry Dash has a great hack that I think you know, Mega Hack v7 which has a lot of variables that you can see and a show trajectory mod which could be usefull for programming ai. It also has a macro recorder/replayer so you could maybe use that to record the best ai runs. Great video I enjoyed it!

It's funny and interesting how the AI was struggling at 63% with the triple spikes jump, because I'm sure that a considerable amount of people that played geometry dash cost that part.

The squad rollin up to beat Stereo Madness

interestingly while i was watching that footage at 3:00 i was thinking who codes like that, no changes, line by line and actually thought u might have setup some script or extension to do this for you 😂

Honey wake up a new video of CodeNoodles dropped

6:31 I don't know why but that one going straight up into the ceiling cracked me up

How is it possible that only the horizontal distance to obstacles matters and not vertical?

Can you teach these things in like private classes and stuff? This is so cool!!

It’s so interesting when flying that it will fly down to support blocks but it’s flying. Would be cool to add a reward for going faster

Please make more parts I wanna see the end of the game

Loved the video! Btw, I noticed that the click/output indicator in the neural network visualizer didn’t seem to match up with the “gameplay.” For example, after the ship part it looked like the red was indicating when the A.I. *wasn’t* “clicking,” instead of the other way around. (Also, don’t think of the video as a hot mess, but more of a bunch of intertwined noodles :P) (omg I feel so smart for using so many big words)

Try more levels maybe demons and let the AI run for some hours or days?

hoping that he adds a part 3 where it gets even better, also im sure you guys noticed. the AI is barely making it in especially at the ship part, it didnt die by a pixel. this might seem bad or scary, but i think its actually a great trait to make it extremely more precise than a human and get through parts like that except super tight 6:05 is a good example, but it also just doesnt look right lol

Can't wait to see it try demon levels ~^w^~

Yes, my comment is in the vid Also, could you code speed portals, wave and ufo and then add slaughterhouse (Top 1 right now) and let the ai improve on that?

In Generation 11, at 8:43 a lot of the ships fell down onto the spikes but didn't die.

seeing AI learn something stupidly hard wave levels would be an experience.

It’s a nice AI you created there and over all that you rebuild the first level! But I have noticed: You hard coded where obstacles are, right? It’s fine and all but it would have been cooler if the AI would have worked by scanning the surrounding tiles or send some arrays in the direction of movement. I would understand why you have decided for this method becose it would have been way more work to do my ideas and it must have already taken so long to create the geometry dash (it would be to much time for my lazy brain I have to say), but if you had decided for my method you could use the AI also for other levels just by copying the maps and not more, also the AI would be able to decide for their own path and the most interesting thing: the AI would make more mistakes.

I just wanna point out that one of the icons you grabbed was just the default mini icon

Good video take a dallasgmd seal of approval

Best sequel ever

This is really cool, but I feel like it is missing a few things… not saying it *needs* all this, it is amazing as it, but if you feel like making it a touch better I would like to see these maybe: Ball mode, ufo mode, wave mode, small mode, upside down mode, advanced gameplay, pads, orbs, vertical gameplay, reverse portal, teleport portal, community made levels, speed portals, practice mode, triggers (which are unfair), coins, dual mode and my favourite - bad hitboxes

It would be cool to do this on some other levels like back on track

And you used c++ to achieve this, respect!🔥

You should make it where whenever it dies, it tracks what it has seen, so then if it tries demons (bloodlust), it can predict the level, and read it at the front pixel

I'm beyond impressed

The Polargeist icon is goated

While your clone is with no doubt really cool, I'd love to see an AI for the real game

“With the basic idea out of the way, lets code this neural network” Proceeds to write more code than I can even process with my smol brain

Very Cool!

Really great vid! but you could have improved it that when the Ai of the last generation is the only one alive it resets, because it has no mutation so it will just die at the same place as before

How did you learn to code? Are you self taught, did you use internet teaching, etc. What software do you use to code?

wil you make it play a harder level maybe? electroman or something?

i gues now that first level is beaten fun part can start part 3 should be intresting or these series will just turn in to remaking the game and that would be funny

Did you program “obstacle” points into the level? I notice that the input for this doesn’t seem to be comprehensively based on a specific screen or environment input but instead on a preprogrammed trigger. This AI then was mostly just evolving to get the timing right, as since it’s inputs are already so sanitized. If you ever do a part 3 it would be cool to make a “sense” system which takes a screen with block cords and types as input and generates the “distance from the next obstacle” signal itself…

Really cool

Cool now make it play Back on Track

Iv needed someone to fill the void left by code bullet

Flying part is just anxiety simulator

I was wondering if you were using a program to write the code before you said it xD

would it not be better to use 2 neurons for the x and y of the distance to the next object?

awesome video

mad underrated

OMG I WANNA TRY !!!! i'm learning and discovering AI and machine learning and GOD I WANNA DO THIS !!! any idea why did you pick c++ for this ?
