Artificial intelligence methods
Hi there,

I have this class where I have to choose a game to experiment different artificial intelligence methods on it and compare them. However, I don't know which game to choose from. I can design the whole game or juste modify open-source game.

I thought of boardgames and pursuit games (Cube?). What do you think would be fun and not-too-much-of-work (cause I have other classes) and easy-to-apply-different-artificial-intelligence-methods?

Thanks a lot,

Jeremie

You could talk about algorithms.

For example a lot of games use the A* Algorithm which is used to find the quickest route to a certain entity, maybe you could use it on a game like Pacman?

And although not a very "complex" algorith, did you know if you constantly follow the left side of ANY maze you will eventually find your way out? I Wish i didn't know myself, Ruins the fun ...

Hey calpol,

As for the algorithms, we'll learn a bunch of them so that's not the problem. I'll find some interesting to apply.

What I'm looking for is game ideas. Pacman sounds cool or something like a maze with monsters, etc. Have any more ideas?

Thanks,

Jeremie

AI is simply weighed decision making. Which action takes priority based on certain criterion? I would demonstrate this with as much fluff as possible. On a project like this its all about the fluff, which happens to be the funnest part. I think an Ant Farm would be a great way to do this, even without a GUI. You could generate a bunch of variables (earth density, food production, colony size, rainfall, ect) and watch your ant make (prioritized) decisions based on these independent variables.

Connect 4 would be relatively simple to implement, has limited choices for every turn and is still a bit more interesting than tictactoe...
