As you all know, CTF doesn't have very many players a day anymore. I have a suggestion for that but first, because of this, I don't know how hard it would be to create and AI bot to play with the players for practcie. Seeing as how they would be way easier than a human they wouldn't give off any points just for practice when nobody is on, and whenever a human joins it kicks one of the bots.

Secondly Hetal is joining her server with premium so classic and premium players can play together. I think it would be a really nice boost to the amount of players and our publicity if we could do the same.

The first idea seems next to impossible, but the second idea seems like genius. If this server goes premium, it will become something again.

Next to impossible? nah. I programmed AI for tic tac toe which is way different but it still wasn't that hard. And lots of games (Admittedly with a lot of code) have AI. Why couldn't CTF?

Oi! I had the idea of an AI months and months and months ago. Although I wanted to use it to learn from people which IS impossible. But just one that traverses the map and spams tnt everywhere wouldn't be too hard I wouldn't think.
(the first idea of the ai was to create a 'perfect player' by basically making it's battle tactics nearly impossible to counter)

I guess I know next to nothing about these things, so disregard that comment. My real comment is that the second idea is absolute GOLD if possible.

*still cant join*

Hetal is doing it... why can't Jacob_?

**Magic102** · 10-06-2014, 07:24 PM

I just mean I can't. Still no .exe and plus this thing has like, no memory at all.

I was talking about the AI not your computer lol.

I could make an AI (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cut5IVPDrA) but it would take a long time. Having classic and premium people playing at the same time sounds really hard. Even if hetal got it to work, which is unlikely, there are over 9000 CTF servers for survival so it wouldn't be helpful unless you already had a community.

I think promoting ClassiCube would help us the most right now. All of the other servers are empty too, it's not just ours.
