FRIGHT: A flexible rule-based intelligent ghost team for Ms. Pac-Man
David John Gagne, Clare Bates Congdon · 2012
FRIGHT is a rule-based intelligent agent for playing the ghost team in the Ms. Pac-Man vs Ghosts Competition held at the 2012 IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games. FRIGHT uses rule sets with high-level abstractions of the game state and actions, and employs evolutionary computation to learn rule sets; a distributed homogenous-agent approach is used. We compare the performance of a hand-coded rule set to one learned by the system and find that the rule set learned by the system outperforms the hand-coded rules.
