Artificial Intelligence in Mobile Gaming – A Glimpse into the Future

Critical advancements in the world of Artificial Intelligence have brought sweeping changes for Gaming.

AI-based games leverage the sensors and other facilities in smartphones/tablets to pave way for a smarter, intelligent and superior gaming experience.

Bluetooth in your phone offers tremendous opportunities for developing such games. Multiplayer games can be engineered that identify other players in similar location (as a player you are not even aware that these players are around you).

Imagine yourself walking in a shopping mall with lots of people around. You start your gaming app, it identifies similar players around and the AI element is used for validating other player’s skill level. This means the gaming app will tell you whether the opponent is actually the right match for you or not.

Some classic examples of such games include Fingle and Swordfight

Another area, where there’s a lot to take advantage of is social media. Almost all gaming apps, these days, come integrated with social media. People like sharing their scores on social networks and keeping their friends updated about their progress.

Many players wish they could update their status mentioning scores/progress but might find it burdensome to do it in the middle of the game. AI can come into play here to understand when a player wishes to update score status on social network.

Anki Drive – The Shining Example

A new-generation game, Anki Drive, makes the use of artificial intelligence and robotics to deliver a supreme racing experience.

The cars are designed to think!

Using an iPad, iPhone or Android device, you can control the car and play with your friends or an AI-enabled opponent.

Every Car you get in the kit, has somewhere around 28,000 lines of code running behind it. It has highly intelligent software, an optical encoder and a camera.
