Procedural urban environments for FPS games [PDF]
Proceedings of the Australasian Computer Science Week Multiconference, 2016 This paper presents a novel approach to procedural generation of urban maps for First Person Shooter (FPS) games. A multi-agent evolutionary system is employed to place streets, buildings and other items inside the Unity3D game engine, resulting in playable video game levels. A computational agent is trained using machine learning techniques to capture
