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...

A Visual-Inertial Hybrid Controller Approach to Improving Immersion in 3D Video Games

Advances in various areas such as graphics, sound, physics and artificial intelligence have improved the level of player immersion into the gaming environment significantly over the years. However, current game controller systems do not fully facilitate natural bodily motions in an accurate and responsive manner, which may affect player immersion within a gaming environment. This paper presents...

Virtual Witches and Warlocks: Computational Evolution of Teamwork and Strategy in a Dynamic, Heterogeneous, and Noisy 3D Environment

Games make excellent challenge problems for Artificial Intelligence. Two-player turn-based games (Backgammon, Checkers, Chess) are easy to program, and AI players can be benchmarked against humans of varying skill levels. Recently, more complicated real-time team games have received attention from researchers in the Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) fields ...
