slate_technologies:

Anyways, here's my opinion about how AI works. You don't have to teach it or take any notes because I am NOT a college graduate and definitely don't have a PhD or Scholarship from MIT. So if anything, you probably shouldn't teach information that hasn't been reevaluated or anything from a Middle Schooler.

So, let's disclose a few things. We have 3 modules: The Memory Module, Thinking Module, and Reset Module. The order matters because it indicates which part is supposed to be coded first or which part COMES first. Personally, I think the Memory Module comes first even though the Thinking Module and the Memory Module are one Module combined together which forms the basic AI.

Anyways, enough with that. I keep saying "anyways", so please get used to me saying that over and over and over. I know it's intimidating but shut u-

The Memory Module, as the name implies, is the Memory for the AI. This Memory is not Classified; it can be accessed by anything, even the user. Anyways, it's just a list full of variables like floats, booleans, integers, strings, and other whatnot. You can choose to delete all this information and replace it with other pieces of information. I get emotional just talking about the Memory Module.

The Thinking Module is the BIGGEST piece of the AI. It's full of if statements that are full of more if statements. And if all those statements return a true output, then it will run through two states - the "Before" State and the "After" State.

The Before State is basically when the Memory is empty and so the AI has no idea what to do. So it makes a random output in hopes of gathering more information.

Once the Memory Module starts filling up with a bunch of information that is kept in variables, the "After" State kicks in and the AI starts to use the Memory Module to make outputs.

After the Thinking Module comes the Reset Module. I've talked to a lot of people outside of Snap! and they are very confused about the Reset Module and think that it is unnecessary, but you have to understand this: Memory is NOT infinite. And so you have to do some Garbage Collection here and there and delete some information. And that's what the Reset Module does. It resets the Memory Module and the entire AI, meaning that the Thinking Module is affected.

I should probably go more in-depth about all this stuff sooner by editing my original articles that I made when I was 10.

You wrote this in an article when you were ten? Wow.

I have basically abandoned the contest, sorry. I’ll look at everything to see what’s up.

Yep. Started research on it that same month.

Not really finished research. I mean, I didn't have good grades in English and so my papers had a little bit of grammatical issues and imma be completely honest with you, I'm no scientist.

Well, I did learn a lot about AI, even though my opinions haven't been agreed upon at the time.

clears thoat Did you say "I wrote this in an article"? I meant that I wrote it AS an article. It's sort of a research paper.

Well it's not a complete research paper. I might have been biased at the time with some stuff. It's some sort of opinion or idea compiled together.

@sir_kitten2 Please extend the date one more time, maybe like 5 more days? I discovered a HUGE bug and Im trying to fix it, but it wont be done today

Your score

What it does - 2/20 - Just an enemy pathfinding AI. Not very exiting.
Accuracy -1/15 - It just wanders around. Can't even see AI in it.
Lag - 7/8 - Well its not laggy.
Originality - 1/6 - Pretty much every game has an enemy AI.
Total score: 11/49 - I was expecting projects like "This project detects how many cats are in an image!" and less like "Basic enemy top down AI". Sorry you got a low score.

Whatever happened to this DEAD contest?

Disappointing as hell but I'm still in first place since no one submitted an entry, right?

You should have specified or made a theme on the ML contest.

This is different. It actually LEARNS.

Oh yeah @mr_owlssssnap2 where's your project?
