Procedural content generation and evolution within the EvoTanks domain
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this extended abstract we highlight ongoing work in developing procedural generation for the purposes of games. This research focusses on our recent development of a procedural generation framework developed in the EvoTanks domain, a re-imagining of the Atari 2600 title Combat. In addition, we highlight current work that utilises evolutionary algorithms not only to procedurally generate offensive and defensive content for the game, but its use to ensure game-balance is retained.

Extensible Multi-domain Generation of Virtual Worlds using Blackboards
Procedural generation of large virtual worlds remains a challenge, because current procedural methods mainly focus on generating assets for a single content domain, such as height maps, trees or buildings. Furthermore current approaches for multi-domain content generation, i.e. generating complete virtual environments, are often too ad-hoc to allow for varying design constraints from creatives ...
متن کاملProcedural Modeling as an Analytical Tool for 3D Survey in Urban Design Assessment
This paper examines procedural modeling as a tool for 3D modeling creation. Procedural modeling historically has been used for 3D visualization of natural features, but with the release of the software CityEngine in 2008, the technology can easily be adopted also in problem domains dealing with urban environments. Then, we will examine and compare two types of modeling, traditional and proc...
متن کاملTowards Procedural Quest Generation: A Structural Analysis of RPG Quests
An analysis of several role playing games indicates that player quests share common elements, and that these quests may be abstractly represented using a small expressive language. One benefit of this representation is that it can guide procedural content generation by allowing quests to be generated using this abstraction, and then later converting them into a concrete form within a game’s dom...
متن کاملCombinatorial Creativity for Procedural Content Generation via Machine Learning
In this paper we propose the application of techniques from the field of creativity research to machine learned models within the domain of games. This application allows for the creation of new, distinct models without additional training data. The techniques in question are combinatorial creativity techniques, defined as techniques that combine two sets of input to create novel output sets. W...
متن کاملSemantic Descriptions for Logical Content Generation
Human designers understand a range of potential purposes behind objects and configurations when creating content, which are only partially addressed in typical procedural content generation techniques. This paper describes our research into the provision and use of semantic information to guide logical solver-based content generation, in order to feasibly generate meaningful and valid content. ...
