Ms. Pac-Man MCTS AI

This was my dissertation project as part of my Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Games Programming (BSc. Hons.) at the University of DerbyThe AI made use of a heuristic simulation based algorithm called the Monte-Carlo Tree Search to simulate future game states and determine the most optimal path to navigate. This algorithm was combined with a finite state machine (FSM) for imposing a strategy onto the way that the agent behaved.

The implementation consisted of an AI agent that was consumed by a piece of software originally developed by members from the World Congress of Computer Intelligence in Games conference. The simulator was developed using a combination of C# and .NET Framework, GDI+, and WinForms.
