Neural Tanks<\/strong> is a third-person tank combat game that takes AI to the next level by leveraging Neural Networking. Neural Networking allows enemy tanks to learn and adapt over time, making them smarter, faster, and more efficient as they navigate the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n

The enemy tanks, however, aren\u2019t just self-improving by chance, they\u2019re under the control of the sinister Sassy Sam, a mad scientist who unleashed a rogue AI into the world without a second thought for the chaos it would cause. Your mission is to take down the increasingly dangerous enemy tanks before they wreak anymore havoc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along the way, you\u2019ll discover powerful upgrades to give you an edge in combat, including camouflage, enhanced tank components for improved performance, and even quirky vanity items like tank boobs<\/em> and tank nuts<\/em> to give your vehicle some personality.<\/p>\n\n\n

Gear up, outsmart the AI, and stop Sassy Sam before it\u2019s too late!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wrote a small paper that explains and expands upon the Neural Networking tutorials originally written by Mat Buckland. This paper includes what Neural Networking is, how its leveraged and used, and how Neural Networking is used in the game specifically. This document also includes a Game Design Document (GDD) for Neural Tanks: Neural Tanks.doc<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to play the game, you can find it on steam<\/a> or download it directly here: NeuralTanksGameFinal.zip<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you would like to download the full project for experimentation or to build off of, please download it here (about 65GB): NeuralTanksProjectFinal.zip<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are interested in just the source code (C++) for the project, you can download it here: NeuralTanksSourceFinal.zip<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
