AI Takes On Pac-Man

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wakka-wakka-wakka-wakka dept.

mikejuk writes "AI takes on Pac-Man — well, in fact it plays both sides. An annual competition challenges participants to write Java programs to control Pac-Man or the ghosts. It might not be chess, but it pits machine against machine, with algorithms going head-to-head as the AI ghosts try and eat AI Pac-Man."

      Ms Pac-Man would be a lot easier. The burqa reduces the whole thing to a dark featureless circle that's moving around.

      Wouldn't she looks like one of the ghosts?

      Except the ghosts would all have the remnants of detonated bombs strapped to their chests.
