Create some IA : Articial Intelligence in minetest

[issa]

Hello;

i see this article :

http://www.numerama.com/sciences/152248 ... r-lia.html (in french sorry)

in english

http://venturebeat.com/2016/03/14/micro ... oject-aix/

the way is create a Articial Intelligence who can found a purpose in minetest and grow up alone.

First is start create IA : Articial Intelligence who can go at the top of the mountain, and found it :)


and now i want ot do this in minetest who is interresting to help :)


what do u think please ?

thanks for u response



Récupérer une ancienne version de Minetest : https://github.com/minetest/minetest/releases

programme en python pour faire tourner un bot : https://github.com/boppreh/minetesting

1> Find a old minetest the 0.4.9 --> https://github.com/minetest/minetest/re ... -mingw.zip

2> install mod on the mod directory of minetest

3> git clone in the linux server :

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

     cd /var/www/minetest/
     git clone https://github.com/boppreh/minetesting.git
     chmod a+x client.py
     chmod a+x controller.py

4> Active the mod and lunch the server

6> Now the bot is activate

That article is in French (Maybe...)

Exactly what is an "IA"?

[rubenwardy]

IA stands for Intelligence Artificielle.
That's Articial Intelligence in English.

[est31]

Yeah, when I read that I've thought the same. It would be cool to have a library to create a headless minetest client, perhaps even AI. The idea of a library floats around for some time already, I've found it on a roadmap from c55 from 2011.

Hi,
The same press article (in english) :

[MineYoshi]

THX Onyx,

In really seems to be interesant this project!

I think that's what this is: https://github.com/boppreh/minetesting

cool but not working need adjust i think :

So i have a server with minetest and with other linux server so i try to connect on with my bot and i have this error :

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

other way, i start the mod bot directly on the server look works, but how activate the bot ?

in game i have this error :

i have to learn

[jp]

I can incarnate the Superficial Intelligence in game if needed, that's better than nothing.

[MineYoshi]

Good point jp!

Is better the Superficial Intelligence!

Before I had ideas to make a mob, that could dig matreals it need to build houses, and maybe protect (fight) with other mobs / players, and keep build on its place.

Good replacements for players in singleplayer, or fill out missing players in servers.

But the problem is, if no players is into it, it will be inactivated :-)

[MineYoshi]

Better polish the performance of Minetest, create IA in Minetest needs a lot of time and knowledge!

[cd2]

Sometime ago, I created a simple bot (cd-robot) which was able to mine. But it didnt work very well (it was just an experiment)

[MineYoshi]

Then polish it, or request a help of someone!

[issa]

true is not easy, i m stuck for now, to found how socket exatly works, to talk with minetest, i just need time, i will do it.

to start i will create a web interface to see the IA in action, and let people create their own IA

[MineYoshi]

+110!

[AiTechEye]

I have made a few kinds of mobs / bots, that ones i spend most time on, is in the pollution mod some have a unlimited inventory + shared inventory, that they using to throw stuff on other objects, they know they have to jump over holes in the ground, jump over blocks, break walls to reach the target (if not protected) and how to go around walls. they can see through some walls like glass.
+ the "kalium bottles" can transform blocks into monsters

The "dig placer" mob in the diplazer mod, have some of the functions, but let the owner control it
it can attack objects (some automatic cases) protect a selected object, place blocks, search for stuff to dig (using find_node near) and more :-)

[MineYoshi]

Only is code after all!

Only polish a bit what there is and we can create a medium "IA" only needs work!

[issa]

Hello,

im back, i do some research about AI, and we have a difference betwen bot and AI,

the bot who program have all information and do what u says, the AI, can learn itself and do what he want !

And it's not easy to do it :)

but i m continue to learn

[AiTechEye]

When i played Unreal Tournament 3, i found how the IA learnt how to stop me with different steps (used traps), to make it impossible to folow (vctf) this puzzled me

cool and how he do that ?

[Gael de Sailly]

I personally don't like to systematically copy Minecraft's development.

That said, a rudimentary AI could be interesting for mobs, for example to prevent them from falling from a cliff (only allow the movements that the mob will then be able to make in the other direction, by taking into account its jump capacities). I think it would not be that difficult, and for now we don't really need a real AI.

100% True!

No: will want to make minetest better then minecraft :P

cool and how he do that ?

VCTF (Vehicle capture the flag)

There is wearable traps, that you can place everywhere
They did:
1: placed a short circuit field (used to short circuit the vehicle i was inside)
2: then a slowmotion field (everything is 0.5x speed in there (the bullets too)
3: then a spider trap (spawns spider robots that blows you up)

I can believe a bot can use the traps in different ways to gain ther benefits, but, in this case they removed my vehicle, made me slow, and it was impossible to escape from the spider robots.. and it only happened 1 time.

When i used the UED (the mod editor) to make maps, i had to set paths, so the bots could find ways to go, like a GPS.

but...

Im interested to make a flexible IA api for minetest, its made by many different parts, it takes long time to develop. But i need help with the mathematic part, because i'm not good at this.

[issa]

Cool

I found an open source API writing in C who have a neuronal système we van used

[MineYoshi]

Surely it will work in Minetest?

[AiTechEye]

I dont think so, but we can see principles that is using, and how they are solved problems.

I don't know c or c++, but js (similar like it) but shore im still can see whats going on

[MineYoshi]

ok, let's see what happen' i hope that neuronal system works!

[AiTechEye]

Because there is much to do, and have to spend much time, and I have a lot to do, I have to pull myself out of this projectet.

but anyways here is code with functions that is important for mobs.

This is not a working mod, but it makes a bot that can walk to you (it messing, i have no idea why)

[MineYoshi]

good job, is very great, it can walk to an entity with a command?
