An AI Game Project

1. An AI Game Project

2. Background • Fivel is a unique variation of a NxM game. • Our goals in making this projects were: • Create an original game experience. • Create a challenging AI player. • Achieve an attractive visual look (cute and funny woodland creatures). • Accessibility – Easy-to-use UI. • The Future? The ability to export the game to the web completion.

12. Development • Problem - Good presentation VS. Strong and reliable computation. • Flash/AS3 • PROS: • Allows to create great presentations and UI’s easily and fast. • Accessibility. • CONS: • AS3 is considerably slow. • Flash has a problems with deep-recursions (15 seconds limit and rendering halting without the use of chunking).

13. Development • Problem - Good presentation VS. Strong and reliable computation. • Java • PROS: • Fast and reliable for deep recursions. • Everybody knows Java! • CONS: • Harder to achieve the visual look we were looking for. • Graphical programming in JAVA is relatively complicated.
