DareFightingICE Platform

DareFightingICE is a fighting game platform designed to advance AI research and improve accessibility for visually impaired gamers. Current research focuses on enhancing the platform's audio system for 3D sound and fair AI agent evaluation, addressing latency issues arising from different programming languages and communication protocols like gRPC. This work utilizes deep reinforcement learning algorithms, particularly for developing "blind AIs" that rely solely on audio input, and contributes to the development of effective sound design for visually impaired players, a significantly under-represented group in gaming. The platform's competitions foster innovation in both AI and sound design within the gaming community.
