AI Studies

The web application contains 8 levels with different AIs. Some use FSMs (Finite State Machines). Others use GOAP (Goal-Oriented Action Planning). There is also another level with freight containers and cranes. However, the development status is far from complete.

Controls

• Mouse Only. Use the left mouse button to select something or hold down the right mouse button to rotate the view.
• The app is only fully functional in full screen mode.

Audio

• Not supported.

Rules

• There is no friendly fire, no range or height restrictions and no hit probabilities.
• There are no environmental objects or similar that can absorb damage. This means that units behind other units can also be targeted.
• The tactical depth comes solely from the angles of attack and heat effects.
• All rules are displayed before entering the level selection menu for the first time.

Background Info

• Part of my investigation is also to examine player perception, which is why there is a survey after each level. These surveys contain 13 questions each and last around 2-5 minutes. The surveys are opened in a new browser tab. The surveys can also be skipped.
• If you start the app in the usual way, you will be assigned to a random test group.
