Game Bot Competition [IDEA]

[Traitor4000]

Ok so first off this is just an idea it is not fully fleshed out yet but I was thinking we could do an fps bot competition on a game like quake. Competitors would create bots that could walk shoot aim etc and whoever's bot wins a private tournament is the winner. This would encourage people to make code that runs super fast so that the aim of the bot is quicker and smoother than the others but also smart code that can decide when to pick up power ups what path too take and which weapon to use. Tell me what you think.

It might be too hard for our community. Weekly challenges never get any activity and from that I can say that making an AI for quake would be a dead competition.

The idea is definitely a great project, I'd love to code something as abstract as a bot. But as Kulver already said, nobody does (or can because of lack of skill?) participate in weekly challenges, it's a shame actually. I really love challenges once in a while, but a big project like that would take quite a bit of time, that alone makes people not want to do it.

That's is mildly disappointing i was really excited for something like this guess ill just program my own bot

I'm not a quake fanatic - but I play other FPS like CS , if we are talking cross game bots - I'm in !
