Build a game AI
Your assignment represents 65% of the module mark. All learning outcome will be addressed by
this assessment.
Read the instructions carefully. Your task is to create a fully functional game with AI. Your
submission should include:
• Commented program source code written in a programming language of your
choice
• A report with an analysis of your approach to the problem and your solution
• A runnable executable (any libraries required by the executable must be included)
• A video showing screen capture showing the game in action.
• Please Note: A submission without running game and without video will be
considered a non-submission and lead to a 0 mark for the application part of the
submission
• Please Note: There will be a separate report and game submission point. Please
submit the appropriate artefact to the appropriate submission point.
Task
Your task is to design and build the AI for a game of your choice. The game can be
any game type or genre, such as a board game, a card game, a first person shooter or
a strategy game. You should deliver a simple but functional demo game that
provides a specific scenario allowing user interaction to show the AI in action. You
can use any suitable game engine or framework e.g. Unity, UDK, Flash etc. of your
choice as long as you write the AI algorithms yourself. You can use any built-in AI
algorithms your chosen engine or framework has as long as you mention this and do
not claim these as one of the required techniques.
The report should:
• Briefly explain the game design
• Explain the AI behaviour needed for your game.
• You should use at least two AI techniques, either to achieve more complex
behaviour, or to achieve multiple behaviours.
• Write a critical analysis describing the strengths and weaknesses of which
algorithms you could consider and whey you choose the ones you did
• Discuss some tricks that you can do to save processing resources and still look
realistic.
The demo should fulfil the following requirements:
• At least one level of functioning game play with at least one AI controlled entity.
• At least 2 AI techniques used (excluding any built-in to your framework/ game
engine etc.
• Incorporate some visualisation illustrating how the underlying algorithms are
running e.g. display lines representing the steering direction, path-finding results,
indication of how it classifies other entities, how moves are being considered etc.
For example, you could display the other entities in red if they’re predators, in green

if potential mate, in yellow if food source. Again, use your imagination!
• Allow the user to interact with the program, e.g. to select where entities should
move to, to set algorithm variables or to allow direct control over them.
• Be imaginative and creative.
• Graphics sounds and physics are not assessed and serve purely to show the AI in
action.
Your work should be provided as a zip file uploaded to Moodle containing all the files and
directories in a well organised structure – including source code, executables and
accompanying documentation for each answer as detailed above. Don’t forget to include
your name and student ID in the zip file name.
The demo should be presented in the portfolio in its own directory, including a copy of the
executable (and any required DLLs), as well as the game assets (including game code
scripts) in a well organised structure. In addition to a “readme” file, explaining how to start
the game demo, you should also provide a short manual, explaining the engine and how it is
used (this could be done in any common format such as plain text (.txt), PDF or HTML).
Marking Criteria
You will be assessed on two things: the software implementation as well as a report where you will
explain how you have done the implementation, the problems you faced as well as diagrams
explaining the most significant aspects of your work. Also note that all the code must be provided in
the Appendix section. What will be assessed is the AI implemented, the analysis that led to this
choice and the level of challenge this presents. Graphics sounds and physics are not assessed and
serve purely to show the AI.
The structure of the report must be the following:
• Title page
• Abstract (or summary)
• Introduction
• Brief description of game and AI type
• Explain chosen approach
• Explain Implementation
• Explain which 3rd party assets, engines and scripts were used
• Conclusions
• References
