Hi,
I was wondering if there's any way to create actual learning machines, so that feedback from each match could be used to update bot parameters. Now it's not possible, because created files aren't preserved between matches. My original plan was to make a really simple bot, which would then learn to fight like a spartan due time and experience, but at the moment I only have a fairly simple bot that sucks just as much after ten games as it does now..
Of course this learning can be done offline with matches between different generations, but I was hoping to be able to do it during the actual matches. Or is there another way to update some parts of the bot between matches?
Although, when I came up with my original plans, I thought that the bots would be fighting something like every ten minutes. This current frequency might not be enough for a simple learning algorithm.
