AI Researchers Produce New Kind of PC Game

Ken Stanley writes "In an unusual demonstration of video game innovation with limited funding and resources, a mostly volunteer team of over 30 student programmers, artists, and researchers at the University of Texas at Austin has produced a new game genre in which the player interacively trains robotic soldiers for combat. Unlike most games today that use scripting for the AI, non-player-characters in NERO learn new tactics in real-time using advanced machine learning techniques. Perhaps projects such as this one will encourage the video game industry to begin to seek alternatives to simple scripted AI."

Slice the meat into thin strips, no more than 1/4" thick and about 1"
wide. Make strips paper-thin if possible. Mix curry powder, chilies,
garlic, onions, salt, lemon juice, and honey in a large bowl. Add the
meat strips and toss well to cover with the marinade.

Thread meat strips on bamboo skewers, 3 or 4 pieces per skewer. Make
sure that plenty of onion and garlic bits cling to the meat. Arrange
skewers of meat in a dish, cover with any remaining marinade, and
refrigerate while making the sauce.

Brown or grill the meat skewers and serve with the warmed peanut
butter sauce for dipping.

Sauce: Blend all ingredients together well to make a smooth sauce.
Keep refrigerated, but warm before serving.
