  1. 2k BotPrize Presentation – James Shannon

  2. Objective of Competition • Create a bot that seems human. • Bot will judge and be judged as BOT or HUMAN. • Judges participate in match(mod of deathmatch mode) • Grand prize for ‘humanness’ rating above the average of judges rating.

  3. Rules • Submit entry by email(deadline as of 2012 was on or before August 22nd) • Results announced at IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and games. • No need to attend the conference(unless you want to) • Chatting disabled • Results date around 11th – 14th September • Teams can be individual or multiple people • One bot entry limit • Multiple affiliated teams may join

  4. Prizes • Major Prize: $7000 and a trip to 2K Marin’s Canberra studios(Humanness rating >= average judges humanness rating) • If more than one team wins it will be shared • Minor prize of $2000 if no one wins major prize • Non cash prizes for best Human/Bot judges(Highest combined score over the judging rounds)

  5. Languages and tools • UT 2004 • GameBots2004 interface • Use any language and IDE you want • Must run under XP and Vista • Recommended IDE is Pogamut 3.3.0, uses JavaSDK and NetBeans.(GameBots2004 inc.)also allows use of Python and POSH. • Competition Mod(DM Mod)

  6. GameBots2004 • UT2004 Mod • Allows control of bots by external programs. • Commands sent/received via sockets.

  7. Pogamut • Java middleware • Allows control of virtual agents in game engines • NetBeans support for debugging • Pathfinding and gathering information can be done in 1 or 2 commands(similar to Robocode) • Allows us to concentrate on the more interesting parts( like A.I!!!! )

  8. Setup(Pogamut) • Obtain UT2004 • Apply patch 3369 • Install JavaSDK & NetBeans • Install Pogamut3 • GameBots2004 can be installed from Pogamut site also • Install Competition Mod

  9. Potential for A.I development • Simple setup and info gathering, allows us to focus on A.I in greater depth • Testing environment(3D competitive video game) is ideal for testing decision making, learning(genetic) algorithms. • Pathfinding (A*/TSP) can be tested • Clearly defined objectives for modelling bots on human behaviour are available i.e. kills, accuracy, movement, decisions

  10. Additional info • 2013 Competition unannounced as 2012 one just ended. Safe assumption that it will be around the same timeframe(has been going since 2008) • http://www.botprize.org/index.html • http://pogamut.cuni.cz/main/tiki-index.php?page=Download • http://www.cs.rit.edu/~jdb/gamebots/about.php
