Abstract

Artificial Intelligence has always been used in designing of automated agents for playing games such as Chess, Go, Defense of the Ancients 2, Snake Game, billiard and many others. In this work, we present the development and performance evaluation of an automated bot that mimics a real life player for the RPG Game Tibia. The automated bot is built using a combination of AI techniques such as graph search algorithm A* and computer vision tools like template matching. Using four algorithms to get global position of player in game, handle its health and mana, target monsters and walk through the game, we managed to develop a fully automated Tibia bot based in raw input image. We evaluated the performance of the agent in three different scenarios, collecting and analyzing metrics such as XP Gain, Supplies Usage and Balance. The simulation results shows that the developed bot is capable of producing competitive results according to in-game metrics when compared to human players.
