REVIEWING THE USE OF GENETIC ALGORITHMS IN A REAL-TIME COMPUTER GAME

摘要

Results from the research on Design Problem Solving which used Genetic Algorithms (GAs) showed many promising aspects, as well as limitations, of the approach within a design domain. This paper attempts to apply these concepts for a real-time computer game engine and appraise the features that appeared in design. Gameplay can be defined as a problem solving process, and will contribute to this research. A new model, known as the Evolutionary Intelligent Character (EIC) model, was created to examine the use of GAs to control game characters or to solve a problem in a real-time computer game. The features, both benefits and limitations, which emerged in the design process, will be reviewed in a dynamic game environment.
