PALAIS: A 3D Simulation Environment for Artificial Intelligence in Games
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present PALAIS — a virtual simulation environment for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in games. The environment provides functionality for prototyping, testing, visualisation and evaluation of game AI. It allows definition and execution of arbitrary, three-dimensional game scenes and behaviors. Additionally, PALAIS incorporates a plugin system that supports swift integration of custom AI algorithms. As a result, PALAIS effectively reduces the effort necessary to research, develop, prototype and showcase behaviors used for non-player characters in games. Finally, we demonstrate the power of the provided plugin system by exemplarily extending the functionality of PALAIS with an external module. PALAIS is available at http://www.palais.io.

Robust Opponent Modeling in Real-Time Strategy Games using Bayesian Networks
Opponent modeling is a key challenge in Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games as the environment is adversarial in these games, and the player cannot predict the future actions of her opponent. Additionally, the environment is partially observable due to the fog of war. In this paper, we propose an opponent model which is robust to the observation noise existing due to the fog of war. In order to cope...
