A Python demo that trains a Deep Q-Network (DQN) to play Flappy Bird from raw pixel input using TensorFlow, pygame, and OpenCV. It serves as an educational reference implementation of the Deep Q-Learning algorithm from the Atari DQN paper.

Use cases

• learn deep reinforcement learning with a hands-on example
• see how DQN plays Flappy Bird from raw pixels
• reference implementation of Deep Q-Network algorithm
• teaching demo for Q-learning with convolutional networks
• starting point for game-playing RL experiments

When to choose

• you want a small, readable DQN example to study
• you are teaching or learning deep reinforcement learning basics
• you want to see pixel-based RL applied to a simple game

When to avoid

• you need a production or maintained RL framework
• you need modern TensorFlow versions or up-to-date dependencies
• you need scalable or multi-environment RL training
