Mikromanageroinnin toteuttaminen StarCraft-reaaliaikastrategiapeliin geneettisellä ohjelmoinnilla muodostettujen potentiaalikenttien avulla by Leppäaho, Oskari

“…The performance of the method was inferior to an earlier study where the potential fields were crafted by hand and the constants were then optimized with the genetic algorithm. It is possible that a significantly larger population size than that of 128 and 500 individuals used in this study would be required to apply genetic programming to this problem. …”
