Team name: none for now, working on it Project name: The Controller Brief description: I want to put an ai into the rts game supreme commander, and use the game world to develop a learning algorithm for it. Supreme Commander is still in beta, but the files for it are easy to access and exchange and it is the most readily moddable rts avaliable. The ai will statr out with a poor knowledge of the game, and will not use any brute force methods. It will rely on a programmed pattern recognition, learning, and decision making system. I have been working on it for about a month now, mostly alone. I dont have much actually programmed, but will be devoting much more time to it in the near future. Target aim: When it becomes an advanced ai, it will be sold, otherwise it will at least win a few videogame tournaments. Compensation: There are some good prizes in game tournaments, and when it can be sold it will provide good money to those involved. Even more if it somehow can be made sentient. Technology: Written in lua code for the supreme commander client. It is free to download on fileplanet, but make a copy for when the beta ends. I could also upload it to the internet for download if neccessary. Talent needed: I need people with experience with lua to write the program and people to develop the learning, pattern recognition, and and decision making algorithms. Similar algorithms are currnetly made for things like arguments and logic. They classify situations based on how it chould interpret them. And last people with game reprogramming experience to successfully insert it into the game and anyone with artificial intelligence knowledge to help with the basic concepts. You must be relatively dedicated to the project. This means about 4-6 hours a week should be avaliable. Team structure: Currently just me. I will lead the development of the basic ai concepts, assisting in other areas where needed. Also I will "watch" the ai to find and correct any learing/decision making/etc. errors it could make. Website: Nothing right now, will be launched soon if I get some activity. Contacts: My email is jkohlburn01.5@comcast.net Additional Info: A learing ai that can make decisions in unknown circumstances and hopefully become sentient. Feedback:ENCOURAGING ONLY
