Introduction

Wildfire Games, an international group of volunteer game developers, develops 0 A.D., a free, open-source game of ancient warfare.

In the game, there can be teams managed by the computer. The AI which plays these teams are called bot, and they are small programs developed in javascript, interpreted by the game engine,

About Split Bot

Split Bot is developed in haXe which is a very structured language which can be "compiled" in javascript code.

This AI Bot is made of multiple agents.

Each one has a goal which may be different or even contradictory, e.g. defend the home and attack the enemy. An agent is created by another agent in function of several indicators: the game state, the game state evolution, a knowledge base, hazard.

Then start a game, and choose Split Bot as AI for an opponent.

Development status

Currently the bot builds a village quickly, defends itself and attacks in teams, but do not split yet.

Split Bot builds strong soldiers, and attacks in waves of 15 soldiers.

The defense is quite efficient since it does detect that it is under attack, and counter-attacks. It also builds defense towers.
