BACS3323 Chapter 6 - Decision Making - Lecture

What is the main focus of decision making in game AI?

• Deciding what to do

• Avoiding obstacles

• Generating random actions

• Following a predetermined path

What is the difference between external and internal knowledge in decision making?

• Both external and internal knowledge are the same

• External knowledge is about the game environment, while internal knowledge is about the character's internal state

• External knowledge is about the character's position, while internal knowledge is about the noise direction

• External knowledge is about the character's internal state, while internal knowledge is about the game environment

What is the most popular form of AI in games and NPCs?

• Finite State Machines

• Deep Learning

• Artificial Neural Networks

• Genetic Algorithms

What is a limitation of Finite State Machines in game AI?

• Performance

• Scalability

• Maintainability

• Reusability

What is the purpose of a Hierarchical Finite State Machine?

• To improve game graphics

• To handle complex behaviors

• To make behavior unpredictable

• To simplify decision making

What is the main building block of a Behavior Tree?

• Task

• Transition

• State

• Condition

What is the purpose of a Selector node in a Behavior Tree?

• Returns immediately with a success status code when one of its children run successfully

• Returns immediately with a failure status code when one of its children fails

• Keeps a task running until it fails

• Limits the number of times a task can be run

What is the general idea behind Machine Learning in game development?

• To use Behavior Trees exclusively

• To fake or simulate intelligence

• To build agents that learn from their environment

• To rely on heuristic ways of simulating intelligence

What is the concept of Reinforcement Learning in AI?

• The AI agent learns from its environment and adapts its behavior

• The AI agent relies on pre-defined rules for decision making

• The AI agent uses random actions to learn

• The AI agent mimics human behavior without learning

What is the impact of the OpenAI initiative on AI and ML in games?

• It has limited the growth of new ideas and methods

• It has resulted in a decrease in AI capabilities in games

• It has encouraged research and sharing of ideas in AI and ML

• It has made AI in games less realistic
