SORTS Tech Report (2007)

by Sam Wintermute. Joseph Xu. James Irizarr.

The goal of this project is to interface Soar to a real-time strategy (RTS) game. RTS games, such as StarCraft, WarCraft, and Command and Conquer, are multi-player strategy games where a player needs to handle many di®erent tasks- planning base layouts, managing economies, organizing attacks, responding to enemy attacks, and even diplomacy. This is all occuring in real time (as the name implies), presenting an extremely rich, challenging environment for an AI system. Making this environment accessible to Soar provides many opportunities for both utilizing existing capabilities and the development of new capabilities. [via]
