DESCRIPTION
REPOSITORY MOVED TO GITHUB: https://github.com/happyjack27/SwarmWars
video sample: http://youtu.be/s5mLNbdBQGY
A game where you evolve & compete AI swarms.
The organisms use swarm intelligence & ant colony optimization. The organisms can communicate through 3-color signaling as well as by laying beacons. They can attack and repair other organisms. They can select mates, and they can gather and distribute food and material.
This behavior is controlled by a genetically evolved neural net augmented with online back propagation learning. The back propagation learning uses a reward vector and plasticity matrix that is evolved as part of the genome.
Long story short, the AI is pretty frickin' sophisticated.
Players can take control of organisms, trade resources and organisms in a market, and aid evolution by selective breeding.
