About this thematic school

Summary

LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • ​​General introduction to AI
  • ​Understanding the concrete uses of automation in Video Games
  • ​Knowing the algorithms and their uses and limits
  • ​Practicing programming techniques applied to AI for Video Games
  • ​How to use LLMs and prompts. ​ 
The objective of this course is to break the varnish of artificial intelligence, to pose and reflect together on the needs, constraints and solutions that we can bring to the problems related to artificial intelligence in video games. And, while taking the magic out of artificial intelligence, we will become magicians ourselves. During this course you will be able to understand, discuss, analyze and apply the notions we will see together. There will be a part of the course on Unity, a part on paper and a part on CodinGame.
We will discuss notions of path-finding (Djikstra, A*), complexity, modeling and we will see some interesting algorithms. We will also discuss some problems related to machine learning and make you want to learn more!
Finally, the course I'm doing is flexible. If you are more interested in some notions than others, we can, if time allows, study parts that do not necessarily appear in the initial offer.
