Infinite Mario AI - Long Level
Robin Baumgarten
A bot built by Robin Baumgarten plays Infinite Mario using A* path-finding, shown as a red planned path that updates as new obstacles appear. It won the Mario AI competitions and uses only on-screen information.
HN points to it as a vivid demo that plain A* search can beat fancier machine-learning approaches in game AI.
