Inserção de um simulador com base em agentes em um jogo

Abstract

Many computer games involve simulating real-world experiences, objects, and phenomena. This happens even in a fanciful way like the Super Mario Bros series of games, which portray an individual who walks, runs and jumps under the influence of gravity, and who has objectives and opponents within a narrative. Within this niche, the simulation’s detail level and the game dependence on it vary widely; for instance, F1 has a detailed Physics model, and Sid Meyer Civilization a civilization development model. A software implementation problem consists of dealing with the coupling between the game and the simulator, considering them as two distinct components. This work aims to implement a game in which the user faces criminals, and the occurrences of law violations are generated in a simulation model based on a criminology study. The game uses the simulator to obtain information about the occurrence of crimes in a urban environment, which influence the behavior of characters. A preliminary version of the concept of this work was presented in volume 4 of the Campos Gerais Computing Research Workshop (WPGCC).
