...Proceedings of the Fourth Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment Conference Learning to be a Bot: Reinforcement Learning in Shooter Games Michelle McPartland and Marcus Gallagher School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering University of Queensland St Lucia, Australia {michelle,marcusg}@itee.uq.edu.au Abstract This paper demonstrates the applicability of reinforcement learning for first person shooter bot artificial intelligence. Reinforcement learning is a machine learning technique where an agent learns a problem through interaction with the environment. The Sarsa( ) algorithm will be applied to a first person shooter bot controller to learn the tasks of (1) navigation and item collection, and (2) combat. The results will show the validity and diversity of reinforcement learning in a first person shooter environment. Introduction Over the past decade substantial research has been performed on reinforcement learning (RL) for the robotics and multi-agent systems (MAS) fields. In addition, many researchers have successfully used RL to teach a computer how to play classic strategy games such as backgammon (Tesauro 1995) and go (Silver, Sutton, and Muller 2007). However, there has been little research in the application of RL to modern computer games. First person shooter (FPS) games have common features to the fields of robotics and MAS, such as agents equipped to sense and act in their environment, and complex continuous movement...

...Influence Social facilitation – The tendency for people to perform better on tasks in the presence of people than when alone. Triplett 1898 found that cyclists rode faster when racing together than when alone because of the competitive element. He also tests this with children and how long it took them to turn a fishing wheel 150 times. Sometimes they were alone and sometimes together, and found that many children worked in co-action CO-ACTION- people working together on the same task. Allport also found college students work in co action completing more multiplication problems together and when Chen looked at ants he found they dig 3 times as faster Allport said that competition is not always affects us if we do better and that sometimes it could just be the presence of an audience that could result in social facilitation. Though audience effect could also affect people in a negative way and cause them to do worse, this is known as social inhibition. AUIDENCE EFFECT – the impact of the individual task performance of the presence of an audience SOCIAL INHIBTION- The tendency for an individual to perform less well in the presence of others than when alone. AROUSAL THEORY OF SOCIAL FACILIATION Zajonc said that arousal acts as a drive that will bring out the most dominant response. In an easy or well-practised task our dominant responses tend to be correct so social facilitation occurs but in a unfamiliar task the dominant responses tend to be incorrect so social inhibition occurs...

...Creating a summary task * Working with subtasks * Establishing task dependencies * Specify lead and lag times A project task list can be as few as 10 or as many as several hundred tasks. With a large project, it can become difficult to locate a specific task. Using MS Project, you can organize the task list by creating a hierarchical structure. This process of structuring a task list is known as outlining. Outlining is used to organize common tasks into groups within the task list. The groups can represent phases of the project. In this lab, we will first use outlining to group the tasks of our project into phases. We will create a main summary task to represent the entire project and then several levels of summary tasks below the main summary task to represent the phases of the project. Creating an Outline 1. Log onto Windows. Open MS Project. 2. Open your project file that you created in Lesson 1, Part A (MyLab1a_XXX.mpp, where XXX are your initials.) 3. Save this file, using Save As, as MyLab1b_XXX.mpp, where XXX are your initials. Creating a hierarchical outline organizes the project tasks list into groups of tasks. Each group of tasks is preceded by a summary task, which describes the tasks within each group. The outline of a project generally begins with a main summary task. The main summary task is a brief description of the project and all tasks are subordinate to the main summary task. This main summary task is also helpful...

...11: Guidance on usability. 3 Usability • Usability is a quality attribute that assesses how easy user interfaces are to use. • Five quality dimensions: – Learnability: How easy is it for users to accomplish basic tasks the first time they encounter the design? – Efficiency: Once users have learned the design, how quickly can they perform tasks? – Memorability: When users return to the design after a period of not using it, how easily can they reestablish proficiency? – Errors: How many errors do users make, how severe are these errors, and how easily can they recover from the errors? – Satisfaction: How pleasant is it to use the design? – http://www.useit.com/ 4 Usability • Quality = absence of problems – discover usability problems and reduce their frequency and severity. – It can be measured – Objective data (performance data derived by behavioural data, user observations) – Subjective data (self-report, questionnaire or interview) 5 • Is usability all that matters here? 6 7 Hierarchy of consumer needs • • Jordan’s (2000) Functionality = “a product will be useless if it does not contain appropriate functionality, a product cannot be usable if it does not contain the functions necessary to perform the tasks for which it is needed”.

In economic sense, productivity is a measure of production output per unit of production input. This refers, to the ratio of output and input in the production process. Importance of Productivity 1. Productivity is an important device for comparison of performance for various organizations. 2. Productivity increases the rate of low cost per unit and results in lower price. 3.

...Background This task is designed to let you demonstrate your programming abilities, and allow us to examine them more in a more rigorous fashion than would otherwise be possible. Expectations We expect you to produce original work. However, you are encouraged to make use of existing algorithms, data structures, and associated techniques in order to develop a solution most effectively. Task #1 Description: Write an OpenGL or DirectX program for the Windows platform that satisfies the following requirements: 1. Import a Wavefront OBJ file including textures and display it on screen. A Wavefront OBJ file is already provided in the zip file. Write your own loader. The .OBJ and .MTL files are just in plain text format. You may convert the jpg texture to another format such as BMP or TGA for easier loading. 2. Provide user input similar to first person shooter controls, see item 6 as guide. 3. Mouse movement is used to change where the camera “looks at” 4. Move, rotate and scale the object you have loaded. 5. The object can be rotated about 3 different points as the center of rotation. Define the center of rotation as (0,0,0), (10,0,0) and (-10,0,0). 6. Control the 3D scene through the keyboard. Use the following keys: W – move forward S – move backward A – move sideways to the left D – move sideways to the right 1 – Center of rotation...
