Game-Logic Simulation Based On Cellular Automata And Flocking Techniques

In the paper, a novel approach to simulation for game logic is proposed. It is based on the Cellular Automata augmented by grouping rules. The idea behind the proposed method uses local interaction on the cellular grid to obtain a global goal: a simulation of ‘intelligent’ behavior of groups. Locally acting bots organize themselves in groups to strengthen and perform attack on the game user. The proposed method can be used in action, role-playing and survival games offering realtime interaction with dozens and hundreds of bots. A prototype implementation of the method is discussed along with the performance analysis.
