The Array/HashMasterWumpus

A Hero for the Wumpus Environment

The ArrayMasterWumpus and the HashMasterWumpus offer the best in the field of agents that is available from us for you.

The strategy for generating a represantation of the environment

The agent uses only its superclasses abilities to build a represantation of the environment.

The strategy for generating a new action

The agent decides for its next action by pondering over the action its ancestor concluded to be best and either taking it or finding a better action.

• If the resoning method of the ancestor comes up with an action that leads to any field already visited, the agent searches for the next field that has not yet been visited and goes there.
• If the resoning method of the ancestor comes up with an action that leads to any field already visited and the agent cannot find a field that is worth being visited (by either being unsave or already visited) the agent calculates a way home and leaves the cave.

This strategy allows the agent to find every piece of gold in the cave that is located at a place that is reachable safely by the agent.

A demonstration shows how the ArrayMasterWumpus and the HashMasterWumpus fare in the Wumpus environment.
