Alice research in AI

Alice is a free software developed by Carnegie Mellon University and it originated at the University of Virginia. Alice is a 3d design software that allows for simple programming and use. Although Alice was designed as a teaching tool to introduce students to programming, we at Kryotech have managed to adapt it for game design. As it turns out, it is not very hard to make simple games. We will illustrate how we designed AI in Alice. AI is integral to most action games, and without it, the game is practically useless. An AI for an action game should have some simple mechanics, it should be able to attack, defend, run away, and call reinforcements. All of these mechanics have been put in to our AI. Our AI uses a neuro-network. A neuro-network has one swarm AI, and individual AI’s in games. In short, it is a lot like the brain of a human. If one tank sees the player, then all the tanks swarm him, and try to kill him in the game. This is the swarm mind. The individual brain of each tank works as follows: if the tank is within ten meters of player, then attack. If player is hostile, then retreat. If player is running away, then intercept him. In our demo (which will be posted on our website) we illustrate the AI and other parts of game design which we will discuss in our post on the game, and on indivdual posts on how each individual aspect works. We are also trying to provide the code of the basic version of the AI described here.
