Call for participation -
The Geometry Friends Collaborative Game AI Competition

Submission deadline: August 16

https://geometryfriends.gaips.inesc-id.pt/



Geometry Friends (GF) is a 2-player collaborative puzzle platformer game,
where 2 players control 2 characters (a circle and a rectangle), with
distinct characteristics, that try to collect some diamonds in a set of
levels as fast as possible.



The game promotes collaboration between the two players and presents
challenging coordinated control of the characters in a simulated physics
environment.

It raises interesting problems for AI agents. For example, to successfully
solve a GF level the players need to:



1) Deal with collaboration at different layers: from motion control (e.g.,
achieving perfect timing) to level resolution (e.g., devising shared plans);



2) Dealing with limited actuation situated in a simulated physics
environment (with gravity and friction).



3) Solve platform (skill) based puzzles, which involves discovering the
proper order to collect the diamonds and identifying the points where
collaboration is needed.



4) Do all the above in real-time.



The competition is held at the International Joint Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (IJCAI’2023) and IEEE Conference on Games (CoG’2023):
