• abstract = "In recent years, there has been an emergence of squad-based shooter computer games. For a team to be tactically proficient, intelligent non-playable characters (NPCs) must be created that are able to assess their situation, choose effective courses of action and coordinate their behaviour so that they work together effectively. This is a very difficult task and game developers are still striving to create teams of NPCs that are able to display effective team behaviours. Our research examines genetic programming (GP) as a technique to automatically develop effective team behaviours for shooter games. Previous experiments have given rise to GP evolved teams capable of consistently defeating a single powerful enemy agent. The behaviours of these teams have been analysed using a technique we developed for analysing team phenotypes. In future work, we wish to incorporate explicit communication into the evolution and improve our phenotypic analysis method.",
