Additional information
<22> With partners at Introversion Software, we built and released an API for their DEFCON game. A number of successful AI-bots were built, and an IEEE competition was held using the API, http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~rb1006/projects:api. Cited by researchers at Microsoft, UC Santa Cruz, UT Sydney and in 10 other countries, this paper is a pre-cursor to this work, using AI methods to resoundingly beat the bespoke engine in the game. This project led directly to the AI/Games EPSRC network (EP/F033834) being setup, two TSB and two EPSRC research grants with games companies, and the recently-announced Goldsmiths DTC in AI/Games.
