Google’s DeepMind artificial intelligence research arm has created bots that have learned to play Quake 3: Arena capture-the-flag…
I thought this was actually Quake CTF, which is actually quite difficult and has a lot of factors around it. It’s a much more simple program, but still interesting.
Let the teabagging commence!
This is slightly less impressive than the headline implies, because the bots have only learned to play in custom maps with Wolfenstein 3D style flat grid layouts.
Some of the maps have bumpy terrain with cacti models that may be irregularly placed. (Can’t tell for sure.)
