Rapidly Adapting Game AI
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current approaches to adaptive game AI require either a high quality of utilised domain knowledge, or a large number of adaptation trials. These requirements hamper the goal of rapidly adapting game AI to changing circumstances. In an alternative, novel approach, domain knowledge is gathered automatically by the game AI, and is immediately (i.e., without trials and without resource-intensive learning) utilised to evoke effective behaviour. In this paper we discuss this approach, called ‘rapidly adaptive game AI’. We perform experiments that apply the approach in an actual video game. From our results we may conclude that rapidly adaptive game AI provides a strong basis for effectively adapting game AI in actual video games.

A CBR-Inspired Approach to Rapid and Reliable Adaption of Video Game AI
Current approaches to adaptive game AI typically require numerous trials to learn effective behaviour (i.e., game adaptation is not rapid). In addition, game developers are concerned that applying adaptive game AI may result in uncontrollable and unpredictable behaviour (i.e., game adaptation is not reliable). These characteristics hamper the incorporation of adaptive game AI in commercially av...
متن کاملCase-Based Reasoning and User-Generated AI for Real-Time Strategy Games
Creating AI for complex computer games requires a great deal of technical knowledge as well as engineering effort on the part of game developers. This paper focuses on techniques that enable end-users to create AI for games without requiring technical knowledge by using case-based reasoning techniques. AI creation for computer games typically involves two steps: a) generating a first version of...
متن کاملAdapting in-game agent behavior by observation of players using learning behavior trees
In this paper we describe Learning Behavior Trees, an extension of the popular game AI scripting technique. Behavior Trees provide an effective way for expert designers to describe complex, in-game agent behaviors. Scripted AI captures human intuition about the structure of behavioral decisions, but suffers from brittleness and lack of the natural variation seen in human players. Learning Behav...
متن کاملAdaptive AI for Fighting Games
Traditionally, AI research for games has focused on developing static strategies—fixed maps from the game state to a set of actions—which maximize the probability of victory. This works well for discovering facts about the game itself, and can be very successfully applied to combinatorial games like chess and checkers, where the personality and play style of the opponent takes a backseat to the...
متن کاملEvolving AI Opponents in a First-Person-Shooter Video Game
One of the major commercial applications of AI is in the rapidly expanding computer game industry. Virtually every game sold today has some sort of AI, from the "computer player" in a chess game to the machine-gun-toting enemies in a first-person shooter (FPS). Any virtual being that does not behave in a strictly pre-scripted manner has some sort of AI behind it. Sadly, however, the multi-billi...
