    Automated Generation of Map Pieces for Snappable Meshes
    (ACM, 2023-04-12) Andrade, Diogo de; Fachada, Nuno
    Snappable Meshes is an algorithm that procedurally generates 3D environments by iteratively selecting and linking pre-built map pieces. These pieces are triangular meshes annotated by designers with connectors marking potential links, and bounding volumes indicating where overlaps should be avoided. In this article, we present a method for automatically generating connectors and bounding volumes from generic non-manifold triangular meshes for use with the Snappable Meshes algorithm, minimizing artist/designer work, while encouraging iteration of map piece design, an essential part of successful environment generation.

    Humans vs AI : an exploratory study with online and offline learners
    (Springer Nature, 2024-01-02) Inácio, João; Fachada, Nuno; Carvalho, João P. Matos; Fernandes, Carlos M.
    We present an exploratory study comparing human player performance against online and offline AI learning techniques—the Naive Bayes Classifier and Genetic Algorithms, respectively—using a simple turn-based game. Human player performance is also assessed according to gender, age, experience playing games, and boredom level during game sessions. Human players and AI techniques are shown to obtain statistically equivalent score distributions. No gender performance differences were found, although performance seems to decrease with age. To a lesser extent, performance appears to improve with self-assessed experience and boredom levels. This study offers a base for more comprehensive experiments, suggesting various directions for future research.
