[QUOTE="Zaphling, post: 5379075, member: 89462"] I'm planning to have an Expert Systems as my solo mini-project in my AI course. I was planning on making Encounter Maker for DMs. First of all, I need to make a database for all monsters available. Then the database for traps, hazards, and what-nots for an encounter. My initial idea is a series of questions for the DM to take before the program generates the battle map with the monsters. I'll provide a special question for themed battles. It might be "What monster theme would you like?: reptiles, demons, undead, immortals, feys, etc." The AI part of the software/program will be reflected on the very first question I will provide for the DM. "How many PCs are there?" then "How many defenders/strikers/leaders/controllers?" These questions will help the program determine how to counter the PCs best. Like if there are more melee warriors, then the program will generate a map with impassable terrain to give the melee PCs a challenge/threat paired by monsters that have advantages with those terrains. Then the monster themes question will follow, followed by questions about threat level. "easy, medium, or hard encounter." To summarize, the Encounter Maker gives the DM the best suggestion on how to counter the PCs. Then generates a map with the monsters that is best in it. Note: This is a four month project and a full running program is not expected. This is a research-based project on Expert Systems. Thanks to those who can give inputs. Few problems: acquiring monster data. [/QUOTE]
