چکیده

Current approaches to adaptive game AI typically require numerous trials to learn effective behaviour (i.e., game adaptation is not rapid). In addition, game developers are concerned that applying adaptive game AI may result in uncontrollable and unpredictable behaviour (i.e., game adaptation is not reliable). These characteristics hamper the incorporation of adaptive game AI in commercially available video games. In this article, we discuss an alternative to these approaches. In the case-based inspired approach, domain knowledge required to adapt to game circumstances is gathered automatically by the game AI, and is exploited immediately (i.e., without trials and without resource intensive learning) to evoke effective behaviour in a controlled manner in online play. We performed experiments that test case-based adaptive game AI on three different maps in a commercial RTS game. From our results we may conclude that case-based adaptive game AI provides a strong basis for effectively adapting game AI in video games.

Opponent modelling for case-based adaptive game AI

In previous work we introduced a novel approach to adaptive game AI that was focussed on the rapid and reliable adaptation to game circumstances. We named the approach ‘case-based adaptive game AI’. In the approach, domain knowledge required to adapt to game circumstances is gathered automatically by the game AI, and is exploited immediately (i.e., without trials and without resource-intensive ...

Artificial Intelligence in Video Games: Towards a Unified Framework

With modern video games frequently featuring sophisticated and realistic environments, the need for smart and comprehensive agents that understand the various aspects of complex environments is pressing. Since video game AI is often specifically designed for each game, video game AI tools currently focus on allowing video game developers to quickly and efficiently create specific AI. One issue ...

Case Acquisition Strategies for Case-Based Reasoning in Real-Time Strategy Games

Real-time Strategy (RTS) games are complex domains which are a significant challenge to both human and artificial intelligence (AI). For that reason, and although many AI approaches have been proposed for the RTS game AI problem, the AI of all commercial RTS games is scripted and offers a very static behavior subject to exploits. In this paper, we will focus on a case-based reasoning (CBR) appr...

Multiple attribute decision making with triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers based on zero-sum game approach

For many decision problems with uncertainty, triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number is a useful tool in expressing ill-known quantities. This paper develops a novel decision method based on zero-sum game for multiple attribute decision making problems where the attribute values take the form of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and the attribute weights are unknown. First, a new value ind...

Level of Detail based AI Adaptation for Agents in Video Games

This paper suggests multi-agent systems (MASs) for implementing game artificial intelligence (AI) for video games. One of main hindrances against using MASs technology in video games has been the real-time constraints for frame rendering. In order to deal with the real-time constraints, we introduce an adaptation-oriented approach for maintaining frame rate in acceptable ranges. The adaptation ...
