AI programs do battle in Ms Pac-Man via New Scientist Everyone loves a few rounds of a classic video game, but why should humans have all the fun? The Ms Pac-Man vs Ghost Team Competition serves to redress the balance by putting AI controllers in charge of video game characters in an effort to see which plays the game best. Competitors could submit AI controllers for either the titular Ms Pac-Man or the team of four ghosts and each entrant faced off against the rest to determine a winner. The Ms Pac-Man AI had to maximise its score, while the ghost AI had to prevent Ms Pac-Man from scoring. The competition was organised by Philipp Rohlfshagen and Simon Lucas, two computer scientists at the University of Essex, with the results announced today at the Congress on Evolutionary Computation in New Orleans.
