Z-ERG (Zealous Endless Runner Generator) project

This is a project that aims to help prototype / generate various endless runner games.

It has several entry points:

  • endlessRunnersGame/src/main/kotlin/cz/woitee/endlessRunners/Main.kt - configurable main method allowing to start a game of your choosing

  • endlessRunnersGame/src/main/kotlin/cz/woitee/endlessRunners/ManualTests.kt - runs a test that is assessed by looking at it

  • endlessRunnersGame/src/main/kotlin/cz/woitee/endlessRunners/PlayWithReplay.kt - play the game and save a replay

  • endlessRunnersGame/src/main/kotlin/cz/woitee/endlessRunners/PlayReplay.kt - play a replay from a file

  • endlessRunnersEvo/src/main/kotlin/cz/woitee/endlessRunners/evolution/SwingLauncherMain.kt - runs a GUI launcher that allows running a specific version of the game / evolution experiment result

  • endlessRunnersEvo/src/main/kotlin/cz/woitee/endlessRunners/evolution/evoBlock/SingleEvoBlockMain.kt - evolves a single-block (part of level generator)

  • endlessRunnersEvo/src/main/kotlin/cz/woitee/endlessRunners/evolution/evoBlock/MultiEvoBlockMain.kt - evolves multiple blocks (full level generator)

  • endlessRunnersEvo/src/main/kotlin/cz/woitee/endlessRunners/evolution/evoController/EvoControllerMain.kt - evolves a controller for a game

  • endlessRunnersEvo/src/main/kotlin/cz/woitee/endlessRunners/evolution/evoGame/EvoGameMain.kt - evolves a game ruleset

  • endlessRunnersEvo/src/main/kotlin/cz/woitee/endlessRunners/evolution/evoGame/EvoGameReplayMain.kt - replays a previous result of ruleset generation

  • endlessRunnersEvo/src/main/kotlin/cz/woitee/endlessRunners/evolution/grandEvo/GrandEvoMain.kt - evolves level generator and controller simultaneously

  • endlessRunnersEvo/src/main/kotlin/cz/woitee/endlessRunners/evolution/coevolution/CoevolutionMain.kt - simply evolves all 3 - ruleset, level generator and controller

  • endlessRunnersEvo/src/main/kotlin/cz/woitee/endlessRunners/evolution/coevolution/ExperimentalMain.kt - precisely configured all 3 evolution, fine tuned for academic research

  • endlessRunnersEvo/src/main/kotlin/cz/woitee/endlessRunners/experiments/Experiment1Main.kt - experiment that was used to evaluate two versions of AI as game validators. Used in the author's Master thesis

  • endlessRunnersEvo/src/main/kotlin/cz/woitee/endlessRunners/experiments/Experiment1BaselineRuns.kt - helper binary to set baselines for the two games - how far do AI players get
