“Artificial Intelligence: the art of making computers that behave like the ones in movies”
Ever been amazed by the skillful computer controlled car or by the challenging computer controlled team? Here is your first opportunity to take your first plunge into the exciting domain of artificial intelligence and explore the problems worked upon by programmers across the globe.
Here you form the artificial intelligence of a player who shall battle it out against other players similarly created by your opponents in a very entertaining 3D gaming platform. The competitor with the best AI wins.
All you require is the very basic knowledge of C++ .You shall have opportunity to play a decisive part in the making of a quality 3D game. Always remember that it is your logic and strategy that counts more than anything else and for beginners this is the perfect arena to take your coding skills to a different level.
The participants will be provided with API(s) to be used for programming the AI of the games. The participants should use it to make the AI for a player or for a team (depending on the problem statement put up). Please look down for what exactly the players will be provided with. The virtual players or teams that run on the AI of the participants are made to compete with each other and the winner of a match will be declared the winner among the competing participants who submitted the AI codes.
This is an online event. So the participants should email the code of the AI before the prescribed date. The physical presence of the participant though not mandatory is encouraged. Depending on the number of entries the prelims will be held the week before Shaastra.
The following will be uploaded during the first week of august
1) An intuitive API for each of the game under competition using which the participants can code a complete game.
2) An example AI for each game.
3) A comprehensive tutorial on how to use the API given.
Please note that the final event format will be put up by the first week of august. The decisions taken by the coordinators are final and binding under all circumstances.
1. The team strength for respective problem statements shall be put up along with the release of problem statements.
2. You can submit the entries online, but physical presence is encouraged.
3. No copying or direct picking of functions from already existing AI codes is allowed.
4. The decisions taken by the coordinators are final and binding under all circumstances.
