Learning to Play Pinball (in simulation)

Advisor: Prof. Koenig

Description

I will design a learning system that is intended to play pinball (hopefully well) in a simulated game provided by Prof. Koenig.

Motivation

The motivation is primarily for me to learn more about the development of and behavior of learning systems. Another goal is to potentially open some avenues for future research.

Communications

Communication with Prof. Koenig will be handled partly through email discussions. In addition, I have a class with him three days a week and can talk with him after class or at another mutually convenient time.

Deliverables

Code for my agent and a short writeup detailing the steps I took and the results of my experimentation.
