The tournament was taken from the final project of UC Berkeley's CS 188 Artificial Intelligence class and used in our respective class at UC Santa Cruz. Overall, it involves a multi-player capture-the-flag variant of Pacman, where agents control both pacman and ghosts in coordinated team-based strategies. The premise is for a team to eat the food on the far side of the map, while defending the food on its home side.
For 10 days this tournament was run every night at 10pm, where each team in the class competed against every other team in a round-robin fashion. Results were automatically uploaded to a webpage around 3am. Our team name: 2Pac.
