CS 370 SNHU Design Defense Project

Competencies In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competencies:You are working as an AI developer for a gaming company. The company is developing a treasure hunt game where the player needs to find the treasure before the pirates find it. As an AI developer, you have been asked to design an intelligent agent of the game for an NPC (non-player character) to represent the pirate. The pirate will need to navigate the game world, which consists of different pathways and obstacles, in order to find the treasure. The pirate agent?s goal is to find the treasure before the human player. This is commonly called a pathfinding problem, as the agent you create will need to find a path towards its goal.You have been provided with some starter code and a sample environment where your pirate agent will be placed. You will need to create a deep Q-learning algorithm to train your pirate agent. Finally, you have also been asked to write a design defense that demonstrates your understanding of the fundamental AI concepts involved in creating and training your intelligent agent.Pirate Intelligent Agent As part of your project, you will create a pirate intelligent agent to meet the specifications that you have been given. Be sure to review any feedback that you received on your Project Two Milestone before submitting the final version of your intelligent agent. Follow these steps to complete your intelligent agent:Design Defense As a part of your project, you will also submit a design defense. This design defense will demonstrate the approach you took in solving this problem, explain how the intelligent agent works, and evaluate the algorithm you chose to use. In order to adequately defend your designs, you will need to support your ideas with research from your readings. You must include citations for sources that you used.
