✨ Features

• 🎯 Real-time Decision Making: Analyzes game screenshots and executes actions in milliseconds
• ⚡ Adaptive Speed System: Uses different models for slow/medium/fast game phases
• 🎮 Automated Gameplay: Achieves 20,000+ meters consistently
• 📊 Performance Monitoring: Real-time confidence tracking and decision logging
• 🖥️ User-friendly GUI: Easy-to-use interface for data collection and bot control
• 📈 Training Pipeline: Complete system for collecting data and training models
• 🔧 Lane Tracking: Intelligent position awareness system

🧠 How It Works

The system uses a multi-stage approach:

1. Screenshot Capture: Takes real-time screenshots of the game area
2. CNN Analysis: Processes images through trained convolutional neural networks
3. Decision Making: Predicts optimal actions (LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN, NONE)
4. Action Execution: Simulates keyboard inputs to control the game
5. Adaptive Learning: Switches between speed-specific models as game accelerates

Screenshot → CNN Model → Action Prediction → Keyboard Input → Game Control

🚀 Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• CUDA-compatible GPU (recommended)
• Windows OS (for keyboard simulation)

Setup

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/subway-surfers-ai.git
cd subway-surfers-ai

2. Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Verify installation

python -c "import tensorflow as tf; print('TensorFlow version:', tf.__version__)"

Dependencies

tensorflow>=2.8.0
pillow>=8.0.0
keyboard>=1.13.0
matplotlib>=3.5.0
numpy>=1.21.0
scikit-learn>=1.0.0
tkinter (usually included with Python)
pyautogui>=0.9.0

🎮 Usage

1. Data Collection (First-time setup)

Collect training data by playing the game manually:

python screen_collector/data_collector.pyw

Controls:

• Select screen area when prompted
• Use Arrow Keys or WASD to capture screenshots while playing
• Space: Pause/Resume collection
• R: Reset timer
• Shift+Esc: Exit

2. Train the Models

Train CNN models for different game speeds:

python src/model_manager.py

This will train three separate models:

• Slow model: For 0-30 seconds gameplay
• Medium model: For 30-120 seconds gameplay
• Fast model: For 120+ seconds gameplay

3. Run the Bot

Start the automated gameplay:

python subway_bot.pyw

Bot Controls:

• Pause/Resume: Control bot execution
• Reset: Reset game timer
• Enable DC: Enable double-click feature

4. Monitor Performance

The bot displays real-time information:

• Current game time and speed category
• Model predictions and confidence levels
• Player lane position tracking

🏗️ Model Architecture

The CNN architecture consists of:

Sequential([
    Conv2D(32, (3, 3), activation='relu'),
    BatchNormalization(),
    MaxPooling2D((2, 2)),
    
    Conv2D(64, (3, 3), activation='relu'),
    BatchNormalization(),
    MaxPooling2D((2, 2)),
    
    Conv2D(128, (3, 3), activation='relu'),
    BatchNormalization(),
    MaxPooling2D((2, 2)),
    
    Conv2D(128, (3, 3), activation='relu'),
    BatchNormalization(),
    MaxPooling2D((2, 2)),
    
    Flatten(),
    Dropout(0.5),
    Dense(512, activation='relu'),
    Dropout(0.3),
    Dense(256, activation='relu'),

# Speed thresholds (seconds)
SLOW_THRESHOLD = 30             # Slow to medium transition
MEDIUM_THRESHOLD = 120          # Medium to fast transition

# Bot settings
PRECISION_THRESHOLD = 0.5       # Minimum confidence for action
SLOW_DELAY = 0.5               # Delay between actions (slow phase)
MEDIUM_DELAY = 0.3             # Delay between actions (medium phase)
FAST_DELAY = 0.1               # Delay between actions (fast phase)
