Mike's vent box openers


This clip shows green user pucks developed by Mike Dean as part of his work for an Artificial Intelligence course at Hampshire College, running in ai.world6. These pucks are smart enough to get keys from the red key donors, and to use them to open the gates in the "vent boxes" and get energy from the vents inside. Generally they just feed a bit and then move on, before the vent closes, as you can see in the upper left near the beginning of this clip. Later in this clip, however, a user puck gets trapped within the vent box in the lower left. It continues to live because it is constantly supplied with energy, but it suffers many collisions and appears to be trapped for good.
