CSC242: Artificial Intelligence 2004 -- Quake and Games Links

• The Quake III Arena Bot . Some ideas on AI techniques for bot control. Not bad background reading.
• Video Games and Home Movies! Quake as art! Blood Gulch. Google on "Mike Burns" or "Red vs Blue" or "Blood Gulch" for more information, graphics, etc.
• Wow! How about using Doom as a sysadmin interface? kill -9, you sucker!
• Learning and Neural Nets in Quake III
• Augmented Reality in Quake . Dunno, some figures don't seem to work but...
• Mod Programming in Quake III Arena , by Shawn Holmes (Premier Press).
• Physics for Game Developers Daniel Bourg (O'Reilly Press).
• AI Technology for Game Programming Matt Burkland (Premire Press) [this one is kind of PC specific].
• KQML language for agent communication.
• Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents
• With thanks to Eric Hughes: Laird's AI and Computer Games (QuakeBot) . George writes: John Laird got a heap of publicity when his stuff first appeared some years ago (at my AAAI Intelligent Systems Demostration program, I might add). I think his students basically all work for the game companies now. There have been some recent "AI and Games" workshops and, eg., a AAAI symposium or something. His webpage has lots of refs. He did an invited talk about it at AAAI one year.
• The evil monopolistic felonious empire releases source code for the game Allegiance. See: Game It's a online team-based space combat game, not a first-person shooter. See a review: Review 1. Or this review: Review 2, With screenshots.
• Something completely different. Courtesy of Scott Marquette, a new (or rare) chess-like game that is Hard for Computers . There's a $10,000 prize for a good player I gather. Here's The Arimaa Story!.
