Author:

Cody Freeman StickFighterAlgorithm would theoretically be ready to go if the game existed. The algorithm has three steps: 1.) Find the nearest target by finding the distances between the AI and the target. A different approach to finding nearest targets that accounts for environmental conditions and obstacles could easily be added on if the game was ever built. 2.) Go through every possible move the ai has, but directed towards the target, and see which one gets the ai closest to the target and does the most damage to the target. 3.) Carry out the best action. Currently the AI is sitting on its own, but it could be extended for future use in fighting games involving any number of players, while also allowing for extensions of movesets using separate files.

Method Detail

performAlg

public void performAlg(GameItem ai,
                       java.util.ArrayList<GameItem> targets,
                       java.util.ArrayList<java.util.EventObject> moves)

Performs the algorithm. Finds closest target, and tests all possible moves, assigning numerical values tied to each move, then carries out the highest-valued move.

Parameters:

ai - - Gameitem representing the ai's status.

targets - - An arraylist of Gameitems, with each corresponding to the state of each possible target.

moves - - A list of moves read in from a file, which allows for more moves to be added by typing in one line of code and creating a corresponding EventObject.

perform

public void perform(java.lang.Object... args)
             throws java.lang.RuntimeException

Description copied from class: AbstractAlgorithm

Performs an arbitrary algorithm with arbitrary parameters. Defines the basic parameters of an algorithm. Algorithms generally require a number of EventObjects which the algorithm fires according to certain specifications.
