Johnstown. This largely tile-based game featured random enemies
which roamed, slept, and sought combat and thought for themselves using
artificial neural network technology. The job of the player was
to level up and slay all the creatures in the valley - the 'artificial
valley of neural networks = avalonn". Built in Java.

featuring a very large overworld map (in 2D) that slides across the

Bingo against many other artificial players, with an adventuristic role-playing twist.

Mar. 2011 - "AiMazed2D". Self Research project for West Virginia University. Built
using Lua.
Features purely random generation of dungeon-styled mazes, with
an automatic AI agent that can "solve" the maze by finding first a key,
then the exit.
Jan. 2012 - "Qubey's Deep Dungeon". Self Research project for West Virginia University. Built using Java and web-hosting technology from Amazon
