using Minetest as a research tool
Posted: Fri Nov 20, 2020 11:56
Hi
thanks to the community for providing minetest, it's great fun !
... and I was thinking it could be also used for research in artificial intelligence... indeed, similarly to https://gym.openai.com/ (which provides "a toolkit for developing and comparing reinforcement learning algorithms."), Minetest could provide a near-realistic world for simulating the behavior of agents.
this would involve the capacity to interact with the game engine and to retrieve a current view of the world (grab screenshots), and possibly interact as a first step...
does it sound reasonable? perhaps it already exists and some people in, the community would have pointers?
cheers,
