The Prompt
Develop an AI agent for a PC game that learns to play “Red Light Green Light.”
The AI should understand and follow the game’s core mechanics:
– Move forward only during the “green light” phases.
– Stop immediately during “red light” phases to avoid being caught.
Implement learning strategies such as reinforcement learning or other suitable machine learning techniques to enable the AI to improve its performance over time through practice and interaction.
**Requirements:**
– Simulate the “Red Light Green Light” environment with clearly defined light phases.
– The AI perceives the current light state and decides when to move or stop.
– Incorporate learning mechanisms so the AI’s gameplay improves progressively.
– Include logic for the AI to identify penalty conditions (e.g., moving during red light) and adjust its behavior accordingly.
– The AI should aim to reach the finish line as quickly and safely as possible.
**# Steps**
1. Define and simulate the game environment, including timing and switching of green and red lights.
2. Design the AI’s input perception system (e.g., detecting light state).
3. Choose and implement a learning algorithm (e.g., reinforcement learning).
4. Train the AI through multiple gameplay sessions.
5. Evaluate AI performance and refine the model.
**# Output Format**
Provide the complete and well-documented source code for the AI player and game simulation.
Additionally, include:
– A detailed explanation of the learning approach used.
– Instructions on how to run and test the AI in the “Red Light Green Light” environment.
