Applications of artificial potential fields for real time strategy games : Troop formations and movements used trained potential functions</I>

This thesis describes the effort of adapting potential field methods towards man-aging groups of units in real-time strategy game like environments. The focus is ondiscovering the suitability for this technology to create realistic group behaviourand whether it can be adapted to use learning for thi...
