Abstract
This paper addresses how intelligent characters, having learning capability based on the neural network technology, automatically adapt to environmental changes in computer games. Our adaptation solution includes an autonomous adaptation scheme and a cooperative adaptation scheme. With the autonomous adaptation scheme, each intelligent character steadily assesses changes of its game environment while taking into consideration recently earned scores, and initiates a new learning process when a change is detected. Intelligent characters may confront various opponents in many computer games. When each intelligent character has fought with just part of the opponents, the cooperative adaptation scheme, based on a genetic algorithm, creates new intelligent characters by composing their partial knowledge of the existing intelligent characters. The experimental results show that intelligent characters can properly accommodate to the changes with the proposed schemes.
