Abstract
Numerous competitions have emerged in recent years that allow researchers to evaluate their algorithms on a variety of real-time video games with different degrees of complexity. These competitions, which vary from classical arcade games like Ms Pac-Man to racing simulations (Torcs) and realtime strategy games (StarCraft), are essential to establish a uniform testbed that allows practitioners to refine their algorithms over time. In this paper we propose a new competition to be held for the first time at WCCI 2012: the Physical Travelling Salesman Problem is an open-ended single-player real-time game that removes some of the complexities evident in other video games while preserving some of the most fundamental challenges. This paper motivates and outlines the PTSP and discusses in detail the framework of the competition, including software interfaces, parameter settings, rules and details of submission. © 2012 IEEE.
