Worksheet 2

Questions for Worksheet 2:

1. Formulate a research question for your project.
2. When developing a research question you must produce a question that can be answered by performing literature research, practical experimentation and critical analysis. The question should also focus the activities of your project.
What is the focus of your project?
What information do you need to find out about?
What Experimental work do you need to perform?
3. How will the information that you obtain in 2 allow you to answer the research question

1. My research question would be something to the effect of "How would AI in a driving game use slipstreaming to it's best advantage and how can current techniques used be improved?". Something along the lines of that anyway.

2.The focus of my project would be to research and build a more challanging racing AI. By looking into different techinques used and seeing if any of them can be improved upon. I will need to find the current best way, according to the industry, of using slipstreaming and looking for potential problems and finding a way to solve them. My plan is to build a simple AI that simply follows the track and another AI that tried to overtake it using the slipstream caused by the car infront.

3. If I can experiment with different ways of using slipstreaming, I can time laps around the course and see which is the fastest. Since it is a racing game and lap times will be monitored, it will be easy to look into which was the quickest and why.

Thanks :D
