We are a team from CS 175 (Project in AI) for the Spring 2017 quarter. We are working on Project IfYouCanDodgeAFireball.
They say if you can dodge a fireball, then you can dodge a regular ball. Project IfYouCanDodgeAFireball involves training an AI agent using the Minecraft Malmo API to survive an attack from a Ghast.
Ghasts are aggressive monsters in Minecraft that will shoot fireballs at players on sight. If a fireball hits a player, the player takes damage. Our goal is to create an AI agent than can survive as long as possible against an onslaught of fireballs from a Ghast.
