About AI Cup 2019

(Russian) AI Cup is an online competition organized by Codeforces.com for designing and programing AI.

As this is my first time to design and programe an AI. So I don’t ask for a prize, just for improving myself.

Design

1. Using Astar Algorithm for path detection,

2. Others still in designing.

Progress

• Astar Path detection
  • Ladder
  • Platform
  • Jump Pad
  • Enemy unit on the path
• Moving
  • Along path detected
  • Away from enemy if too close
• Shoot and Hide
  • Obstacle detect
  • Go for Health Pack when health low
  • Enemy movement predict
• More …
  • Rocket Laucher
  • Mines
  • Machine Learning

Result

Because of time lacking(I have to prepare for several exams), I didn’t finished all that I’ve planed, and end up with rank 474 in Round 1 finally. (Only top 300 could enter Round 2)

Review

AI-Cup-2019 is a great platform for masters in AI to compete and test their ability. And it’s also a great chance for beginners like me to stimulate an interest for study and try to build an AI. I’m really grateful for Codeforces.com of organizing this competition.

Through this competition, I realized that I still have much to learn as a beginner in AI and ML. And there is a long way to go.
