Hi there
I am pitching an Artificial Intelligence (AI) workshop at University and i have been given the ok with some conditions.
I would have to implement a game that showcases good and fun AI.
The idea basically is to have an easy to program game, meaning 2D, simple controls, etc to save development time. But has to show something that gets people hooked on AI. The idea will be to do showcase the game with a small talk in a projector room and manage to get current software engineering students hooked up into AI, at least enough to pick 1 course.
The first example i thought was Pacman which has a simple UI, simple Controls and has some degree of AI on the ghosts chasing you, etc.
However the AI is way too simple so i am making a list with possible choices and to be honest i am not really conviced by any idea. It would be cool if it was an original concept but it's fine if it is an existent idea.
Which is not as hard is it sounds when you keep in mind the game doesnt need replayability beyond 2 games or much level variation, etc. It's something expected to be played 2 times at most by people.
Any input welcome!
