In this assignment you will explore topics that you agree upon across at least 3 groups. Possible topics include

Capture the flag Pacman link
Battle code link
Starcraft link

Robocup Soccer link

Your suggestion here...

You need to do the following:

Check the links above to decide what you are interested in
(optional) if you like to add a topic on the list, do so at this page
Use this page (same as above) to write your name on (possibly several) topics of interest
(optional) discuss and advocate your favourite topic (see 5.1 below)!
Make your decision (now only one topic), and add yourself to the corresponding topic-group (deadline 13/5, 9:30)
1. The group needs to have at least 6 members otherwise it will be removed and you have to re-choose
Find a partner who choose the same topic, add yourselves to a project-group (deadline 13/5, 11:15)

After you agree on a broad topic across a set of groups, you need to agree on the specifics.

Each set of groups agree on a common manager and deputy manager to lead the work, agreeing on what the competition should look like, and what to adapt/extend to make the competition happen.

You can use up to 50% of your time to adapt/develop the common framework (this is done in cooperation by all groups participating in the topic), but at least 50% must be spent on a competitive Multi-agent AI element.

Report progress here, as usual.
