Title
Defcon
Abstract
The aim of the CIG 2009 Defcon AI competition is to see which bot is the best Defcon player. Each bot plays 30 matches against each other bot, in a series of one-on-one matches with bots playing in each of the possible starting territory configurations. The game will run on a limited-information mode (i.e., bots cannot see units hidden by the fog of war) and the victory timer will start no later than 4 hours into the game (additionally to the usual game ending conditions). For each match, the resulting score (standard rules: 2*kills - own casualties) is recorded for each player. In the end, the player with the highest cumulative score wins. Screenshots are available at http://www.introversion.co.uk/defcon/about/screenshots.html. The Defcon API has been developed by Imperial College and Introversion Software to allow easy access to all the functions and data required to write a fully functional AI for Introversion's thermonuclear war simulation Defcon. Interfaces to C++, Java and LUA are available, and the original implementation of the Defcon AI is provided as a starting point. The API is available for free from http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~rb1006/projects:api, and it works with the demo version of Defcon, which can be downloaded from http://www.introversion.co.uk/defcon/downloads/.
