Hero Evolution Algorithm Project

Welcome to the Hero Evolution Algorithm Project, an ambitious game development experiment aimed at combining evolutionary algorithms with strategic dungeon crawling mechanics. This project explores cutting-edge techniques to create heroes capable of tackling endless hordes of dungeon monsters while refining their abilities through generations of evolutionary progress.

Overview

The project is a blend of game mechanics and algorithmic research, designed to challenge and excite game developers and AI enthusiasts alike. Through gameplay, the system evolves heroes to achieve the ultimate goal: discovering a hero capable of defending against infinite waves of dungeon monsters.

Main Features

  1. Hero Evolution: Heroes are generated with random attributes and evolve over time using fitness-based selection, crossover, and mutation. Each generation builds on the strengths of the previous, seeking to create a more powerful lineage.

  2. Dungeon Mechanics: The dungeon features infinite floors with progressively tougher monsters. Heroes gain experience and levels by defeating these monsters, testing their abilities and resilience.

  3. Strategic Progression: Players observe and guide the evolutionary process, aiming to refine heroes' abilities to overcome increasingly challenging obstacles.

Why This Matters

This project demonstrates how evolutionary algorithms can be applied in game design to create dynamic, engaging systems. It also highlights the potential for integrating artificial intelligence concepts into interactive entertainment, making this both a technical and creative exploration.

What's Next?

Dive into the following sections for detailed insights:

  • Heroes: Learn about hero attributes, algorithms for generation, and their progression.
  • Dungeon: Explore the infinite dungeon's mechanics and combat system.
  • Evolution: Understand the evolutionary principles driving the hero development process.
  • Interface: See how heroes, dungeons, and progress are represented visually.

Together, these components form the foundation of an engaging idle-style game where the quest for the ultimate hero never ends.
