Chapter 3: AI Games Class 6

Play, learn, and explore Artificial Intelligence in action.

🧭 Chapter Overview

Artificial Intelligence is not only used in industries and education — it’s also a part of games and fun learning! 🎮

AI games help students understand how machines learn, adapt, and make decisions.
In this chapter, you’ll learn how AI and Machine Learning are connected with games, useful apps for learning AI, and some interesting facts about this fascinating technology.

3.1 Introduction to AI Games

💡 Definition:

AI Games are games that use Artificial Intelligence to make decisions, adapt to players’ actions, and create smarter opponents or experiences.

AI in games makes them more challenging, realistic, and interactive.

🧠 In Simple Words:

In AI-powered games, the computer can learn and react like a human player, instead of following fixed rules only.

⚙️ How AI Works in Games:

Observation: The AI observes player actions.
Learning: It learns patterns of play.
Decision: It makes intelligent moves accordingly.
Adaptation: It changes difficulty based on performance.

🎮 Examples of AI in Games:

Game Name	Type	How AI is Used
Chess / Ludo King	Strategy Game	AI opponent learns moves and adapts
PUBG / Free Fire	Action Game	AI controls non-player characters (bots)
FIFA / PES	Sports	AI manages team strategies and movement
Minecraft	Simulation	AI manages animals, weather, and environment
Google Quick Draw	Learning Game	AI recognizes doodles drawn by users

🧩 AI Techniques Used in Games:

Technique	Description	Example
Pathfinding	Finds best movement path	AI soldiers in shooting games
Decision Trees	Helps choose best action	AI opponent in chess
Reinforcement Learning	AI learns from success or failure	Self-learning robots or game bots
Computer Vision	AI “sees” and interprets visuals	Motion games like Kinect
