Introduction 1. D-Day 2. Crate Britain
Introduction The following walkthrough of the first three missions of the game describes the way we at Team17 play the missions. We understand that there are many different ways of playing “Worms”, in fact, that's one of the things that makes “Worms” such an unpredictable and fun game. There may be other ways of completing the missions, and very occasionally a stray sheep or a misplaced enemy banana bomb may affect the tactics below, but believe us, they work 99.9% of the time. We wish you the best of luck… follow the instructions as closely as you can and be sure to practice at every opportunity. 1. D-Day The objective in this mission is to simply kill all the enemy worms situated on the cliff top. As each of your worms takes its turn, move them to the base of the cliff, watch out for the mine field on the way. From the bottom of the cliff you’ll be able to lob grenades up and onto the top. Set the fuse time to 5 and aim almost straight up. Throw it at nearly full power and you should be landing grenades next to the enemy worms. On turn 6 a crate containing 4 jetpacks will be dropped next to the tank. Collecting this will allow you to move your worms up to the top of the cliff. Now you'll be able to hit the enemy more easily. Also keep an eye out for health crates which will be dropped near the base of cliff. 2.

A representation of common ground for everyday scenarios is essential for these agents if they are to be effective collaborators and communicators. Effective collaborators can infer a partner's goals and predict future actions. Effective communicators can infer the meaning of utterances based on semantic context. This thesis introduces a computational cognitive model of common ground called a Plan Network. A Plan Network is a statistical model that provides representations of social roles, object affordances, and expected patterns of behavior and language. I describe a methodology for unsupervised learning of a Plan Network using a multiplayer video game, visualization of this network, and evaluation of the learned model with respect to human judgment of typical behavior.
