#MAD RATZ - Be Your Own God

##General Information

Mad Ratz - Be Your Own God (B.Y.O.G.) is a multiplayer game designed to innovate in the way users interact with their characters in the game. Instead of requiring dexterity from the players to press buttons in the right order or at the right time, it requires only programming knowledge and strategy from them. The interaction is basically to write an Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) script in some predefined language to control the behavior of your character in the world it’s put in. This will allow users to write from simple reactive A.I. algorithms that just “follow and shoot” the enemy, to more complex memory-backed and strategic approaches to getting to your opponent and reacting to their possible strategies. With this interaction the game will not only be of extreme competitivity and excitement to watch how your artificial intelligence will behave, but also present users with a unique opportunity of learning from simple to advanced A.I. techniques (as they wish to improve their scripts), or even as a first contact with programming at all. It could also be used in actual A.I. courses, to practice on the implementation and demonstrate the efficacy of certain strategies and techniques.
