Contribution

It introduces a novel web-based system for creating, sharing, and exploring open-ended multi-agent AI environments with interactive tools.

Findings

Provides a diverse database of AI environments

Demonstrates emergent behaviors of simple finite-state machine agents

Enables collaborative design and exploration of AI interactions

Abstract

This work introduces Amorphous Fortress Online -- a web-based platform where users can design petri-dish-like environments and games consisting of multi-agent AI characters. Users can play, create, and share artificial life and game environments made up of microscopic but transparent finite-state machine agents that interact with each other. The website features multiple interactive editors and accessible settings to view the multi-agent interactions directly from the browser. This system serves to provide a database of thematically diverse AI and game environments that use the emergent behaviors of simple AI agents.
