Protocol E: An Implementation of a Novel, Agent Based, Control Scheme for Real Time Strategy Games

Abstract

Contemporary real time strategy games (RTS) have given particular emphasis on micromanagement. Protocol E takes a different direction by adopting a novel agent based control scheme proposed in 2012. Protocol E is intended as a demonstration of the viability and versatility of this kind of control scheme in RTS games. The game can run on control pads as well as keyboards and mice or touchpads.
