Re: New bots!

Well, you actually got me excited. I think I understand now. The arma core picks a goal and passes this decision to a plugin that should return an appropriate atomic move (left, right, straight) or sequence of atomic moves. Now you might consider handing over the goal picking to the plugin as well. ...

Re: New bots!

An interesting read indeed. I wonder if that's the approach most people take to writing AIs, thinking in terms of a specific target... Or something like that.

Re: New bots!

Indeed, the trickiest part is defining what a 'good' move is. It's much easier to see where bad moves happen, you die, but when someone else dies on the grid how much was due to what you did? Well, I think in sumo the situation is simpler - it will have something to do with area occupied. But a goo...

Re: New bots!

I have been thinking about some AI strategy for Tron. But I broke my addiction on this game three months ago and don't quite wanna risk working on it yet (cause that would mean testing too...). Anyway, my idea was to make the grid discrete - divided to squares and then use min-max tree with alpha-be...
