AI Games

How it all started

An intern of the WARGAMES (Weapons And Retaliation Global Administration's Most Extraordinary System) association discovered an old program that was deemed to be destroyed decades ago. This was the first attempted AI program to control the complete western nuclear arsenal. Unfortunately the intern activated this old and really buggy program. And for some unclear reason, this old program immediatly connected to the current AI program controlling the nuclear weapons.

Now the old program is running continuous self-diagnostics and thereby detecting bugs in its functions. These bugs, collected by the program flow, are send to the new AI program, which is confusing these as warning signals and is slowly increasing the state of Alert! When the Black Alert is reached, the full nuclear arsenal will be deployed. A shut down or restart is no option, only the best hackers in the world could hack, debug and test the old AI program to avoid a world wide disaster.

Each Hacker, identified by their animal nick name, will have a special ability to quicker move through, debug or test the old AI program. Can you as player(s) controlling the hackers outsmart the AI program? Are you quick enough to debug and remove any known bugs? Or even better, can you succesfully test 6 program functions to avoid the Black Alert status to be reached?

In stead of a video, below you find a series of images that explains the first 2 rounds of the game, to get a better feeling how to play it.

Next time, when I have a bit more time for the deadline, I will add a video again for sure. I hope this alternative approach with a lot of images still gets you all interested!
