  • Bot for Google Chrome's Dinosaur Game
    dino_bot.md Bot for Google Chrome's Dinosaur Game If you've ever tried to access google chrome while the internet is down, you've probably seen a screen simlar to this: T-Rex Run is a simple game. The user plays as the dinosaur, using the space bar to jump over incoming cacti and birds. It's an easy game to play, and python makes it even easier. Automate the Game In order to automate the game, there are two user inputs that we have to consider: 1. Clicking the center to start/restart the game 2. Pressing and unpressing the space bar to jump To accomplish these tasks, three python modules are used: 1. NumPy - for summating pixel values 2. Pillow - for image processing 3. PyAutoGUI - for controlling mouse and keyboard input Conceptual Overview The goal is to make the program able to analyze the area in front of the dinosaur and jump when something is in his way. The following image shows the two places that the program is using to do this: The blue rectangle is a reference to the area of the screen in front of the dinosaur that the bot is constantly running calculations on. As the game runs, the area in front of the dinosaur changes as obstacles approach. With Pillow, we're able to calculate the sum of the different pixel values specifically in the blue area in front of the dinosaur. When nothing is in front of the dinosaur, the value of the sum of these pixels represented by the blue rectangle is 1,447.

    University of Sheffield Reinforcement Learning and Video Games Yue Zheng Supervisor: Prof. Eleni Vasilaki A report submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MSc Data Analytics in Computer Science in the arXiv:1909.04751v1 [cs.LG] 10 Sep 2019 Department of Computer Science September 12, 2019 i Declaration All sentences or passages quoted in this document from other people's work have been specif- ically acknowledged by clear cross-referencing to author, work and page(s). Any illustrations that are not the work of the author of this report have been used with the explicit permis- sion of the originator and are specifically acknowledged. I understand that failure to do this amounts to plagiarism and will be considered grounds for failure. Name: Yue Zheng Abstract Reinforcement learning has exceeded human-level performance in game playing AI with deep learning methods according to the experiments from DeepMind on Go and Atari games. Deep learning solves high dimension input problems which stop the development of reinforcement for many years. This study uses both two techniques to create several agents with different algorithms that successfully learn to play T-rex Runner. Deep Q network algorithm and three types of improvements are implemented to train the agent. The results from some of them are far from satisfactory but others are better than human experts. Batch normalization is a method to solve internal covariate shift problems in deep neural network. The positive influence of this on reinforcement learning has also been proved in this study. ii Acknowledgement I would like to express many thanks to my supervisor, Prof.

MISSION To provide education at all levels in all disciplines of modern times and the futuristic and emerging frontier areas of knowledge, and research and to develop the overall personality of students by making them not only excellent professionals but also good individuals, with understanding and regards for human values, pride in their heritage and culture, a sense of right and wrong and yearning for perfection and imbibe attributes of courage of conviction and action. Taking the Vision of Amity Business School forward under the guidance of Dr. Ashok K. Chauhan Founder President Heartiest Gratitude for Supporting & Trusting Our Efforts Shri Atul Chauhan President RBEF & Chancellor, Amity University Uttar Pradesh From the Desk of Dean-FMS & Director-Amity Business School Editor-in-Chief Dear Readers, Educatio is the ost powerful weapon which you can use to change the world - Nelson Mandela The aforementioned words of late Nelson Mandela inspire us to introduce new changes in the education system for continuous improvement. Amity being forerunners in education has always been an early adopter of revolutioary ideas like Choie Based Credit “yste or Outcome Based Education’. Outcome-based education will change the focus of curriculum from the content to the student, as all students can learn and succeed, but not on the same day or in the same way. Through these learner centric initiatives, the perception of what it means to be truly educated will change.
