Genetic Algorithms: Mario level 1-1 Completely Random Jumping.

This is just a test of fitness, seems to be working. Currently the fitness is

(Distance/MaxDistance)*100 - (time/10)

Works out pretty well, and Score can be added after the first runs of this works.

I dont get how its genetic if the jumping is completely random?

@T3HPWN3R100

This was just a test to get display's working, fitness calculations, proof that i could control it via scripting, etc.

I sadly never uploaded videos of the finished project, but it turned out pretty well. I used something like this so seed it, running it randomly for the first generation, then every generation after that was mutated/crossovered using my fitness calculations, which actually eventually got a near run.

Cool project! But since the population is n = 1, this is - by definition - a hillclimbing algorithm and not a genetic a.?

[danibitt59]

aren't you overfitting this scenario? should train other random levels, shouldn't it?

Really cool that you got this working. If you have the source available it would be really cool if you could post a link or something

be carefull not to get system that has learned how to pass selected map.

@MutekiRarus the thing is: if your GA gets a good solution, the next time you try it, you may have mario failing. Becouse it is not a stable scenario, is it?

[MutekiRarus]

@ernesto50 That's nonsense. Of course you can predict the moves of enemies! For example, goombas, koopas, spinies, and buzzy beetles all move forwards at a constant rate, and turn around if they hit a wall.

[Blackennew]

very good

[ernesto50]

you cant control or predict the moves of the enemies, so the "best" solution could not be replicated... its useless

[Estopero2]

Liked your video. So, adjustments on random jumping are made by increasing or decreasing the frequency of the jump? or are the jumps adjusted with time and position?
