  • Maven Plugin for testing bot's behavior mentioned in the previous post was finaly released, checkout the examples referenced from the homepage and start evaluating your bots!
  • We are thinking of creating a bot that could compete in next the BotPrize competition. The first step we have already done was collection of behavior data from human players and then their thorough analysis. The collected data are free for download, check the homepage of the project.
  • We're finally doing some experiment with planning alogirhtms, its running on UDK and for now we have published Planning4J library to Google Code that provides abstraction for running different planners, currently it allows you to execute BlackBox & MetricFF planners for your domain+problem.
  • We have created new example maven archetype - custom control server for UT2004 and UDK, more information here: Control Server Tutorial

  • We're constantly updating our projects based on UnrealEngine2
    • StoryFactory

Pogamut on conferences:

Just to remind you:

We are working on:
  • We have finished SharedKnowledgeDatabase for UT2004 bots that allows you to easily synchronize information from various "local" bot worldviews to obtain (e.g.) current team knowledge about the state of the environment. We're currently working on tutorials on how to utilize it. For now, you can find it in version 3.2.5-SNAPSHOT under class name SharedKnowledgeDatabase.
  • We are working on Pogamut Maven archetypes/NetBeans plugin support - this will add our example projects once more to NetBeans "New Project" menu (this feature is currently broken, but it can be easily bypassed thanks to Maven)
  • Work on debugger for SPOSH plans continues, we have working prototype that allows you to set up breakpoints into POSH plans interactively.

Do you have a project built on top of the Pogamut platform? If yes and you want it to be mentioned in the next release of "Pogamut quarterly" or have a link from the Pogamut homepage, then let us know!

All the best,
The Pogamut Team
