Message (2020): explanations, and response to reviews & low star ratings:
This App was first developed in 2016/2017. This was my first ever Android app I made and published. However, since, I have been getting feedback of confusion with regards to the algorithm behind the game. As explained in the description of the App, that first version of the app (and the only version available) as published does not use machine learning neural nets. It was just a basic game cognitive artwork concept.
So the plan was to either:
--- [1a] re-submit a new release with changed in-app text, and changed actual {google play} store app metadata (e.g. name of App), to remove those confusing parts.
or
--- [1b] code up a new release with ML neural nets.
So far I haven't had much time due to other commitments, and: (1) I received various incompatibility bugs in Android Studio (this was due to un-updated modules and the code based from a few years ago on older platforms), and (2) the rejection of my changes from Google Play store policies admins with no detailed feedback on what exactly the problem was.
--- Also [2], I could do any of [1a] and/or [1b] above, but instead of replacing the App version release, it would be as a brand new separate App, with rating starting back with no star/review ratings. This is probably the best course of action.
Further note: Also worthy to note that other Apps by large high-end expert dev teams at billion-dollar companies also produce apps that get many low (1-star and 2-star out of 5) ratings, as it is a very difficult thing. Cognitively speaking, end-users/critiques are very harsh on the negatives, and seldom praise the positives.
UP-TO-DATE DESCRIPTION
####################### UP-TO-DATE DESCRIPTION #######################
Flying Neural Network (basic non-AI 2D game)
“ Flying Neural Network (basic non-AI 2D game) 1.0 ”
Developed by Mr Harry S F Muzart at BioNeuroTech.com’s AppLab (a subsidiary of Multidisciplinary Neuroscientific Technologies Ltd) (London/Kent, UK)
---------
About the Game / Instructions:
You control a simple flying bioagent (the 'neural net') navigating through a simulated 2D environment. Increase its fitness points by making it ingest nourishing substrates. The agent automatically moves downwards, but just touch the screen to make it move upwards. And avoid getting too close to toxins as you will lose points and/or die !!
It can help with enhancing cognitive skills, reaction time, visuo-spatial functions, reflexes, and fine hand coordination, for people of all age demographics. You also get to learn about the concept of artificial biological neural networks.
---------
Note 1: This App does NOT use D.M.L. (Deep Machine Learning) / A.G.I. (General-purpose Artificial Intelligence) !! The 'neural network' (NN) is a fixed agent that can simply interact (move and increase its score). The game's concept, artwork and name was inspired by Biological NNs and Artificial NNs; but the NN agent here is not actually using a modifiable architecture (i.e. there is no data-driven learning algorithm in the underlying code, like in BNNs/ANNs). (the AGI ANN will come with later updates)
Note 2: There is no sound in this App.
Note 3: This App contains Interstitial AdMob Ads.

Descriptive information & metadata updates: Mar-Apr-May 2017, Nov 2017, Aug 2018, Oct-Nov 2019

--- About me, the Developer:
Hi ! My name is Harry, I'm 28 years old, and I live & work in London & Kent (UK). I'm originally from France. I enjoy learning things, and I love doing sports (especially martial arts). I'm fascinated by Science & Tech. I have a BSc (Biosciences with major in Cognitive Systems Neuroscience) (University College London), and I have many years of experience in computer technology and coding. I recently decided to make Android Apps (mainly using Java in Android Studio 2.0). I am doing a MSc at King's College London, and in the near future, I'm hoping to do a PhD in Computational Neuroscience, and get a full-time job in that field! :-)
