Writing Assignment 1

Due Mon 9/9 at start of class

Write 5-6 pages, double-spaced, singled-sided, 10-12 point proportional (i.e., not fixed-width) font with 1-inch margins except 1.5 inch on the right side, with page numbers on the bottom margin critiquing the AI of one or more video games. Start by describing the game and be sure to give both the developer(s) and publisher(s) (look it up in Wikipedia) and platform(s). Then describe the situation in which the AI example(s) occurs and why you consider the AI good or bad. Be sure to include at least one example of AI that impressed you and at least one example of AI that you thought atrocious (may be in different games). Finally for the bad AI example(s) describe how you might fix it.

Assume that your audience is your fellow student.
