I was surprised to get a winner on generation 7 the first time I started the trainer. Subsequent trials were much worse.

  I was surprised that I got one that get really far and then in the next generation they failed right at the start

    In a GA approach, you'd have kept that bird AND mutate/breed offspring from it. In a NN, you often get oscillation during training.

      This is a GA. I just think it doesn't practice elitism (saving the best solutions found so far.) Or it's nondeterministic.

        The problem seems to be the map. It's always different and you can get to 1000 points if you are lucky with the map. But the one that got to 1000 might not get a gap that didn't show up in the last map.
