Each one has a goal which may be different or even contradictory, e.g. defend the home and attack the enemy. An agent is created by another agent in function of several indicators: the game state, the game state evolution, a knowledge base, hazard. </p> <h2 id="technical-considerations">Technical considerations</h2> <p>The bot is a set of javascript classes which are interpreted by 0 ad game engine, Pyrogenesis. </p> <p>It is developed in <a class="" href="http://haxe.org" rel="nofollow">haXe</a> which is a very structured language which can be "compiled" in javascript code. </p> <h2 id="key-words">Key words</h2> <h3 id="bot">Bot</h3> <p>The bot has a set of Agents, it has resources and a single goal: win the game, kill the opponents. </p> <h3 id="agent">Agent</h3> <p>An "intelligent" "autonomous" program which has a given goal and a set of behaviors which it express or not depending on the situation.
