The winners of the best 2nd year group project prize have had a paper accepted at an IEEE conference. It discusses the methods they used to develop an automated Pacman player.
The paper, Ghost Direction Detection and other Innovations for Ms. Pac-Man, has been accepted for the 2010 IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games, 18-21 Aug 2010, Copenhagen, Denmark. The authors are Nathaniel Bell, Xinghong Fang, Rory Hughes, Graham Kendall, Edward O’Reilly and Shenghui Qiu. The paper will eventually appear in IEEE Xplore.
One of the students (Xinghong Fang), supported by the School of Computer Science, will attend the conference to present the paper and also to enter the automated Pacman player competition, which the software was developed to address.
