Talakat: Bullet Hell Generation through Constrained Map-Elites

no code implementations12 Jun 2018 Ahmed Khalifa, Scott Lee, Andy Nealen, Julian Togelius

We describe a search-based approach to generating new levels for bullet hell games, which are action games characterized by and requiring avoidance of a very large amount of projectiles.

Generating Levels That Teach Mechanics

1 code implementation18 Jul 2018 Michael Cerny Green, Ahmed Khalifa, Gabriella A. B. Barros, Andy Nealen, Julian Togelius

The automatic generation of game tutorials is a challenging AI problem.

Towards Game-based Metrics for Computational Co-creativity

no code implementations26 Sep 2018 Rodrigo Canaan, Stefan Menzel, Julian Togelius, Andy Nealen

We propose the following question: what game-like interactive system would provide a good environment for measuring the impact and success of a co-creative, cooperative agent?

Diverse Agents for Ad-Hoc Cooperation in Hanabi

no code implementations8 Jul 2019 Rodrigo Canaan, Julian Togelius, Andy Nealen, Stefan Menzel

In complex scenarios where a model of other actors is necessary to predict and interpret their actions, it is often desirable that the model works well with a wide variety of previously unknown actors.

Generating and Adapting to Diverse Ad-Hoc Cooperation Agents in Hanabi

1 code implementation28 Apr 2020 Rodrigo Canaan, Xianbo Gao, Julian Togelius, Andy Nealen, Stefan Menzel

In this game, coordinated groups of players can leverage pre-established conventions to great effect, but playing in an ad-hoc setting requires agents to adapt to its partner's strategies with no previous coordination.

Evaluating the Rainbow DQN Agent in Hanabi with Unseen Partners

1 code implementation28 Apr 2020 Rodrigo Canaan, Xianbo Gao, Youjin Chung, Julian Togelius, Andy Nealen, Stefan Menzel

Hanabi is a cooperative game that challenges exist-ing AI techniques due to its focus on modeling the mental states ofother players to interpret and predict their behavior.
