Generation of Emergent Game Character′s Behavior with Evolution Engine

In recent years, various digital characters, which are automatic and intelligent, are attempted with the introduction of artificial intelligence or artificial life. Since the style of a character's behavior is usually designed by a developer, the style is very static and simple. So such a simple pattern of the character cannot satisfy various users and easily makes them feel tedious. A game should maintain various and complex styles of a character's behavior, but it is very difficult for a developer to design various and complex behaviors of it. In this paper, we adopt the genetic algorithm to produce various and excellent behavior-styles of a character especially focusing on Robocode which is one of promising simulators for artificial intelligence.
