	\begin{frame}{Design Spaces}
		
		\begin{itemize}
			\item In this morning's session we talked about \keyterm{Game Parameters}
			\item These are properties which help to define the game
			\item These are often \textbf{dependant} on one another.
		\end{itemize}

	\begin{frame}{Exercise: Game Parameters}
	
	\begin{block}{Question}
		What game parameters are there for \gametitle{Flappy Bird}?

	\begin{frame}{Flappy Birds}
		\begin{block}{Activity}
			Go to the \href{http://game.engineering.nyu.edu/projects/exploring-game-space/}{\gametitle{Flappy Bird} demo} and change the sliders.\\
			How does changing the parameters affect the gameplay?

	\begin{frame}{How does this relate to us?}
	
	Isaksen et al basically did the following:
	
	\begin{enumerate}
		\item Select parameters
		\item Repeat $N$ times
		\begin{enumerate}
			\item Generate games
			\item Evaluate games
			\item Record results
		\end{enumerate}
		\item Analyse results
		\item Output result
	\end{enumerate}

	This is how we're going to think about tuning our own game parameters.

	\begin{frame}{The Role of AI}
		\begin{description}
			\item[Problem] Doing evaluations is time consuming \item[Solution] Make AIs that play them
		\end{description}

	\section{Asteroids}
	
	\begin{frame}{Asteroids}
		\begin{center}
		Lets look at a more complicated example
		
		\begin{figure}
		\includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{images/game_new}

		\end{center}
	
	\end{frame}
	
	\begin{frame}{Parameters}
		\begin{block}{Question}
			What parameters could we change for asteroids?
		\end{block}
	
		\pause
		\begin{itemize}
			\item Number of bullets
			\item Speed of bullets
			\item Amount of damage
			\item Ship speed
			\item Ship turn rate
			\item Bullet cost
		\end{itemize}
	\end{frame}
	
	\begin{frame}{Metrics}
		\begin{block}{Question}
			What can we measure about asteroids?
		\end{block}
	
		\pause
		\begin{itemize}
			\item Rankings
			\item Score difference
			\item Time to win (game ticks)
			\item Distance travelled
		\end{itemize}
	\end{frame}

	\begin{frame}{Metrics}
		\begin{block}{Exercise}
			Create a version of asteroids that disadvantages the rotate and shoot player over the other agents.
		\end{block}
