Strategic Planning for Unreal Tournament© Bots
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose the use of hierarchical (HTN) planning techniques to encode strategies that one or more Bots should execute while acting in highly dynamic environments such as Unreal Tournament© games. Our approach allows the formulation of a grand strategy but retains the ability of Bots to react to the events in the environment while contributing to the grand strategy.

Unreal GOLOG Bots
Even though reasoning and, in particular, planning techniques have had a long tradition in Artificial Intelligence, these have only recently been applied to interactive computer games. In this paper we propose the use of READYLOG, a variant of the logic-based action language GOLOG, to build game bots. The language combines features from classical programming languages with decision-theoretic pl...
متن کاملHierarchical Plan Representations for Encoding Strategic Game AI
In this paper we explore the use of Hierarchical-Task-Network (HTN) representations to model strategic game AI. We will present two case studies. The first one reports on an experiment using HTNs to model strategies for Unreal Tournament® (UT) bots. We will argue that it is possible to encode strategies that coordinate teams of bots in first-person shooter games using HTNs. The second one compa...

Computer games and the accompanying entertainment industry branch has become a major market factor. AI techniques are successfully applied to tasks like path planning or intelligent swarm behavior. On the decision-making level the state of the art are state machines with a fixed set of behaviors. The perception of the computer player is perfect. They exactly know where the other players are loc...

This work describes three different approaches looking to get the best Bot (autonomous agent) for the First Person Shooter Unreal Tournament 2004. To this end, different hybridizations of the two best bots of the Botprize Competition 2014 are created. This competition decided the humanness level of the bots by means of a Turing test conducted on human judges. Thus, the proposal considers the so...
متن کاملUnrealGoal Bots - Conceptual Design of a Reusable Interface
It remains a challenge with current state of the art technology to use BDI agents to control real-time, dynamic and complex environments. We report on our effort to connect the Goal agent programming language to the real-time game Unreal Tournament 2004. BDI agents provide an interesting alternative to control bots in a game such as Unreal Tournament to more reactive styles of controlling such ...
