Evolution strategy for optimizing parameters in Ms Pac-Man controller ICE Pambush 3
2010
Proceedings of the 2010 IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games
Preserved Fulltext
This paper describes an application of Evolutionary Strategy to optimizing ten distance parameters and seven cost parameters in our Ms Pac-Man controller, ICE Pambush 3, which was the winner of the IEEE ...
The optimized ICE Pambush 3 using the resulting parameters from this optimization scheme has an improvement of 17% in the performance for the first game level, compared to the original ICE Pambush 3. ...
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors would like to thank all other members of the Ms Pac-Man group in the laboratory; in particular, Hiroshi Matsumoto, the leading member of the ICE Pambush 3 team, for their helps ...
