Tasks Performed

• Further research on Besars 11 formulas for a
  deterministic infinite dynamic game (All)
• Further research into cost functions, and how it
  is formulated into our game(All)
• Started redesign of cost function (All)
• How to calculate cost function given only your
  angle relative to your objective and your
  velocity
• Global Processing, Local Game (Boki)

5
Technical Progress

• Cost Function
• From mentor, Ralph The player does not know all
  his current states, therefore our current cost
  function cannot be used
• Not Known
• Position
• Trajectory
• Known
• Angles between bow and objects
• Introduction of a map giving the players
  locations of certain landmarks.

6
Technical Progress

• Cost Function (cont)
• From this information, the player can use a GPS
  type algorithm to estimate his own position
  (Gradient Descent or Gauss Newton)
• Once we have the ships position we can find the
  trajectory at every point in time and formulate
  the new cost function around that.
• Cost function development based on Gauss Newton
  method of minimizing error (set cost error)

7
Upcoming Tasks

• Continue defining and formulation of Besars
  equations, and the Hamiltonian. (All)
• Finish redesign of cost function (All)
• Add position estimate method into code (similar
  to GPS algorithm) (All)

Summary

• This project is about introductory Research and
  Development on the subject of DCD
• The way we approach different parts of game
  theory in applying it to a real world scenario
  the more we have to formulate our own theories
• Goal is to get as far as possible in defining and
  testing our theories and document them in a way
  that the next group can pick up where we leave
  off.
