Abstract

As computer technology has improved, the complexity and variety in computer video games has evolved alongside. In particular, computer-controlled players in these games have grown significantly more intelligent over time. The decisions and strategies of these opponents can be studied and assessed with game theoretic techniques. This thesis demonstrates these techniques to develop strategies for the computer-controlled opponent in a role-playing video game.
