Mario AI competition might have a strong contender

• sireat 17y ago
  Very impressive looking contender. The one weakness it does have is that it is not considering past screens, just the current one. Thus, AI will fail when the only way to progress is by going backwards a bit(while the tempting forward paths lead to Mario's demise). Then again, maybe going backwards is not allowed in this particular Mario environment.

    The contest page (http://julian.togelius.com/mariocompetition2009/ http://julian.togelius.com/mariocompetition2009/) talks about being based on the "Infinite Mario Bros game by Markus Persson .. with the added benefit of endless random level generation". I wouldn't be at all surprised if the sorts of levels that this program generates never have conditions where you must backtrack and take a different path, to complete it. Especially after seeing a few examples in these videos.

For all my hours as a kid I was never this good, I never even realized I could kill the pipe fish by jumping from below.
