In the game of Space Invaders you will program a laser cannon whose objective is to stay alive and shoot down enemies before they get to the ground. The enemies are also equipped with bombs and are quite eager to throw them at you. So, the task is:

• Avoid damage from the bombs

• Shoot down all enemies as quickly as possible

​

The laser has 3 possible moves it can make at any given time:

• Move one square to the left

• Move one square to the right

• Shoot

​

Your agent should choose wisely :)

The game engine also saves game state information to a .json file every frame, so you may utilize it for Machine Learning to improve your agent.

​

Our competition will have two tracks:

1. Stable enemies (easier) - the enemy soldiers will move on the map according to a predetermined algorithm

2. Random enemies (harder) - the enemies will move at random
