--- abstract: 'This paper addresses the problem of automatically constructing tracks tailor-made to maximize the enjoyment of individual players in a simple car racing game. To this end, some approaches to player modeling are investigated, and a method of using evolutionary algorithms to construct racing tracks is presented. A simple player-dependent metric of entertainment is proposed and used as the fitness function when evolving tracks. We conclude that accurate player modeling poses some significant challenges, but track evolution works well given the right track representation.' altloc: - http://julian.togelius.com/Togelius2006Making.pdf chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: 'October 1, 2006' conference: " SAB'06 Workshop on Adaptive Approaches for Optimizing Player Satisfaction in Computer and Physical Games" confloc: 'Rome, Italy' contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Togelius given: Julian honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: De Nardi given: Renzo honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Lucas given: Simon M. honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2006 date_type: published datestamp: 2006-10-15 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/52/21 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: - family: Yannakakis given: Georgios N. honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Hallam given: John honourific: '' lineage: '' eprint_status: archive eprintid: 5221 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/5221/1/Togelius2006Making.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: ~ lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:56:39 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: ~ pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 12 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 17:08:07 subjects: - comp-sci-mach-learn - comp-sci-neural-nets - comp-sci-hci succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: Making Racing Fun Through Player Modeling and Track Evolution type: confpaper userid: 4535 volume: ~
