Developing game AI for the real‐time strategy game StarCraft
… agents designed to play Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games has been limited compared to the amount of research that has gone into designing agents for playing board games such as chess. This is largely due to the fact that developing an agent for RTS is more complicated. There has been some positive …

Emergent Behaviour in Game AI: A Genetic Programming and CNN-based Approach to Intelligent Agent Design
… programming is used to evolve an adaptive game AI, also known as an intelligent agent, whose job is to capture up to twenty-five prey agents in a simulated pursuit environment. For a pursuit game, the fitness score tallies each prey the predator captured during a run. The fitness is then …

Enhancing player experience in computer games: A computational Intelligence approach.
… with the non-player characters in the game which are in turn controlled by the game artificial intelligence. Research in game AI has traditionally been focused on improving its competency. However, a competent game AI does not directly correlate to the satisfaction and entertainment …

On the definition of non-player character behaviour for real-time simulated virtual environments.
Computer games with complex virtual worlds, which are populated by artificial characters and creatures, are the most visible application of artificial intelligence techniques. In recent years game development has been fuelled by dramatic advances in computer graphics hardware which have led to a …

Application of Retrograde Analysis to Fighting Games
<p>With the advent of the fighting game AI competition, there has been recent interest in two-player fighting games. Monte-Carlo Tree-Search approaches currently dominate the competition, but it is unclear if this is the best approach for all fighting games. In this thesis we study the design of …

Interfaces for alternatives, difference visualizations and collaborative authoring of behavior trees
… framework for exploring and comparing multiple game AI behavior alternatives is presented. A mixed method study revealed participants rated it higher compared to the control framework. Mostly positive feedback was also obtained in a semi-structured interview and a follow-up qualitative …

Towards Better Turn-Based Strategy Planning Agents: Turn-Based Evolutionary Tree Search
While AI agents surpass human performance in classical board games such as Chess, Go, and Shogi, many complex turn-based strategy (TBS) games, particularly those involving multiple actions per player turn, remain challenging due to their enormous branching factors and long planning horizons. Unlike …

Imitation learning through games: theory, implementation and evaluation
Despite a history of games-based research, academia has generally regarded commercial games as a distraction from the serious business of AI, rather than as an opportunity to leverage this existing domain to the advancement of our knowledge. Similarly, the computer game industry still relies on …
