Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning
Hi
I came to know about this game today only and went through most of the forum.
I will be more than willing to offer my support and help. I am a post graduate student in data mining and AI . I could help by working on AI of the game by using some real time statistical techniques. Just as an example, last semester one of my friends developed a small cricket simulation. In the simulation, one could train the computer to bat in a manner similar to the manual player by training it for some time. This used reinforcement learning techniques. This can be used for training AI to play similar shots as the corresponding real player. Also the batsman in the game should be playing shots based on a probability distribution where the parameters are the pitch, bowler etc. All I am saying is that these things should not be just put in a adhoc manner , but should involve actual statistical techniques.
I have no idea as to how this game is being developed or how AI is specifically used in games. But I do think we should study and borrow ideas from more successful games, which revel on their brilliant AI capabilities.
