• Abstract: The teaching innovation project SpaceRaceEdu: development of an educational multiplayer video game for self-study and self-assessment has been carried out under the INNOVA call of the Autonomous University of Madrid during the 2022-2023 academic year. In this project, a functional prototype of SpaceRaceEdu has been developed: a multiplayer video game with a social and educational nature, which can be used both by teachers as a training and evaluation activity and by students as a tool for study and evaluation. In SpaceRaceEdu, several student teams try to launch a rocket before everyone else. To meet this objective, they must gather a series of resources by going through a scenario and answering questions of different types. The teachers can introduce these questions according to the contents of their subject. The videogame balances competition and cooperation to promote participation and learning. Competition occurs between teams who strive to answer all their questions correctly before their rivals. In contrast, cooperation occurs between students on the same team who can organize and support each other to be more effective.

  We propose a competitive learning framework which is able to help individual robot to acquire knowledge from the competition. Specifically, the competition information among competitors is introduced as the additional auxiliary signal to learn advantaged actions. We further build a Multiagent-Race environment, and extensive experiments are conducted, demonstrating that robots trained in competitive environments outperform ones that are trained with SoTA algorithms in single robot environment.

  We describe an effort to add an experimental reinforcement learning system to an existing automated game testing solution based on scripted bots. We show a use-case of leveraging reinforcement learning in game production and cover some of the largest time sinks anyone who wants to make the same journey for their game may encounter. We propose a few research directions that we believe will be valuable and necessary for making machine learning, and especially reinforcement learning, an effective tool in game production.

  Social deduction games offer an avenue to study how individuals might learn to synthesize potentially unreliable information about others. In this work, we present Hidden Agenda, a two-team social deduction game that provides a 2D environment for studying learning agents in scenarios of unknown team alignment. Reinforcement learning agents trained in Hidden Agenda show that agents can learn a variety of behaviors, including partnering and voting without need for communication in natural language.
