AI methods for the development and set-up of computer games: automatic content generationAutomatic content generation, also known as procedural content generation, aims at using AI techniques (and others) to generate usually personalized game elements, like levels, stories or quests. Personalization to a particular human player is achieved by using a player's game playing history and any other information that a program can get from a human player. Our work is around generating levels for platform games, like Super Mario or KGoldrunner. There are two general requirements we have to be after when creating a level:
Our solution to this problem is using artificial players that try to solve a level (naturally combined with an analysis of static features to filter out as many level candidates as possible). Currently, we use only one play strategy for this artificial player, but customizations to human player types and even individual human players are possible. We published our ideas at CIG 2011 and AIIDE 2012 (see our bibliography page).
