Population main view

Module 2 - Population: describes how the population works. In the maps created, whether exterior or interior, you can place assets, entities and decorative elements such as enemies, players, furniture, weapons, rewards, among others. There is also an assistant called Map-Elites, which is an AI that orders and generates different varieties of position of the elements on the map.

Map Elites Windows

MAP-Elites is a classification algorithm that works in conjunction with an optimization algorithm to add diversity to the final result of the population map. The tool works with a two-dimensional map, X and Y, which will be the evaluators. In each iteration of the algorithm optimization, the result is located in the corresponding position on the map according to the score obtained. This score is based on the evaluators chosen by the assistant, with the lowest score being at the bottom left and the highest evaluation score being at the top right. The two evaluators (x and y) can be modified by the user and set as desired. The level of granularity depends on the number of partitions chosen.
