We applied Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to learn a model of DOOM levels from
human-designed content. Initially, we analyzed the levels and extracted several topological
features. Then, for each level, we extracted a set of images identifying the occupied area, the
height map, the walls, and the position of game objects. We trained two GANs: one using
plain level images, one using both the images and some of the features extracted during the
preliminary analysis. We used the two networks to generate new levels and compared the�…
We applied Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to learn a model of DOOM levels from human-designed content. Initially, we analyzed the levels and extracted several topological features. Then, for each level, we extracted a set of images identifying the occupied area, the height map, the walls, and the position of game objects. We trained two GANs: one using plain level images, one using both the images and some of the features extracted during the preliminary analysis. We used the two networks to generate new levels and compared the results to assess whether the network trained using also the topological features could generate levels more similar to human-designed ones. Our results show that GANs can capture intrinsic structure of DOOM levels and appears to be a promising approach to level generation in first person shooter games.
