Some recent news published by NVIDIA's artificial intelligence research group reports that a new AI model succeeded in recreating the classic PAC-MAN arcade gam🌱e from ❀the ground up, entirely on its own.
The AI system developed by the folks at NVIDIA goes by the name GameGAN, and drew on the power of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网ꦿ:generative adversarial networks (GANs) to mimic the game engine of PAC-MAN and thus recreate it. GANs are kinds of machine learning algorithms which can produce🎃 really authentic new examples of, say, photographs (and now video games), based 🦹on an existing dataset thereof. The products look convincingly similar to the original - and could in fact - despite still being .
Another AI tool also developed by NVIDIA - the StyleGAN2 - also makes use of GANs, but specifically as a pretty much instantaneous method of producing an 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:infinite collection of images. That kind of thing could quite p꧒ossibly revolutionize image generation as we know it, so could NVIDIA's GameGAN revolutionize the creation of video games too?
Well, we can certainly say that what GameGAN has done is pretty ground-breaking in the field of AI research. It's the first demonstration of an AI model creating a computer programme – in this case a video game – from scratch, all on its own. And literally, all it had to do to accomplish this was “observe” some gameplay of PAC-MAN. From that and only that, GameGAN could build all aspects of the game - programming and all - on its own. Granted, it had to watch 50,000 🃏episodes of game💫play footage first, but that's still super impressive.
“We wanted to see whether the A🤡I could learn the rules of an environment just by looking at the screenplay of an agent moving through the game. And it did,” sai💞d Seung-Wook Kim, who led the at NVIDIA.
It's pretty mind-blowing, really. And the folks at Bandai Namco - PAC-MAN's publisher - also seem similarly impressed. As from the research development branch of Bandai Namco expre❀sses:
We were blown away when we saw the results🐼, in disbelief that AI could recreate the ico𝔍nic PAC-MAN experience without a game engine.
This research presents exciting possibilities to help game developers accelerate the creative process of 𓆉developing new level layouts, characters and even games.
