Remember Icy Tower? 

icyAI is my recreation of this wonderful game, that is both playable by you or a real AI (artificial intelligence), that you can train yourself. 

I'm happy to say, that the maker of the original game - Johan Peitz himself - likes my project, so maybe you do too. :)

Amazing project from @killerplauze1! Training an AI to play Icy Tower. Even gamers will be obsolete in the future.https://t.co/x9TcmyJIuC

Note: Initially, I did not attend to make this project public, so I did not optimize it for machines other than mine. There might be issues I'm not aware of on your specific machine.

What you can do with icyAI:

•  Easily train an AI by trying different settings with a genetic algorithm (called NEAT). This game lets you unleash 50, 100, 500 (or whatever your machine can handle) individual Harolds at once into the world. They are then free to make their own experiences & you can watch them evolve into better performing individuals, by reproduction, mutation & speciation. 
• Once you have successfully trained your own AI, you can play against it & see, if it has reached a superhuman level. 
• If you just want to relax, play Icy Tower & enjoy the iconic music of the game - go for it. There's no need for the AI. 

See, if you can train a better AI than I managed to do (see how I did), by changing the training parameters. Read through the NEAT-documentation to learn more about the genetic algorithm & how you can adapt the config_file.txt to train your AI differently.

This is the first game & AI-application, that I have ever made, so I would be super happy, if you were to let me know what you think about this project! :)

Other than than, I hope my creation helps you to relive some good old memories & that you enjoy the simplicity of this amazing game, as much as I do.
