2010 BotPrize contest
The third BotPrize contest was held at the IT UNiversity of Copenhagen, Denmark on 20 August 2010, as part of the 2010 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Games.
The aim of the contest was to see if a computer game playing bot could convince a panel of expert judges that it
was actually a human player.
Results
Though no bot was able to take the major prize,
the winning bot was Conscious-Robots by
the team from Carlos III University in Madrid. The best judge was Gordon Calleja,
head of the Centre for Computer Games Research at the IT University of Copenhagen.
As in previous competitions, the most human bot is not as human as the least "human" human player, but the gap is now small.
There were also some "Epic" bots in the mix (UT2004's built-in bots). These bots have some extra advantages as they have access
to more game information, and they achieved a humanness rating of 35.3982 %.
Complete data from the final games is available in MySQL form here or in Excel form here.
UT2004 demo files of (most of) the final games are available. To replay them, you will need a UT2004 client, and you will need
to install some maps, and the mod. Unzip and copy the files and folders from combined and mod2010 into your UT2004 folder. Here are the demo files:
Round 1, Round 2 (lost), Round 3 (lost),
Round 4, Round 5, Round 6,
Round 7, Round 8, Round 9,
Round 10 (lost), Round 11, Round 12. These go in the Demos folder
of your UT2004 installation after unzipping.
