Tutorials & Repositories

Unity ML Agents

AUTOMATED GAME-PLAYING/RL FOR GAME CHARACTERS

Creating responsive and intelligent virtual players and non-playable game characters is hard.

With Unity Machine Learning Agents (ML-Agents), you are teaching intelligent agents to “learn” through a combination of deep reinforcement learning and imitation learning. (As per Unity.)

ProcJam Resources

PROCEDURAL GENERATION
TUTORIALS

Procedural generation can be tricky to get started with, so here you can find a list of useful and cool tutorials that show you a new idea or help you get started with a new technology! (As per ProcJam.)

WaveFunctionCollapse

A COMMONLY USED ML APPROACH IN INDIE GAMES

This is a GitHub repository for WaveFunctionCollapse. This program generates bitmaps that are locally similar to the input bitmap. (As per Maxim Gumin.)

Academic Examples I

GENERATIVE AI/PCG
VIA ML IN GAMES

Some introductory-level machine learning projects that make use of the Video Game Level Corpus.

Academic Examples II

GENERATIVE AI/PCG
VIA ML IN GAMES

Examples of: WaveFunctionCollapse-Level-Generation, SequenceRNN-Card-Generation, and GridBased-Level-Generation. (Via PCGML-Book.)
