I have some basic experience with Unity. Specifically I used it to make 3D cellular automata. I also have limited, at least theoretical, knowledge of neural networks and I have used Encog a few times.
Now I would like to make a game, nothing complex, where several agents with ANN for brain, navigate an environment, interact with it and with each other. For start "eating" and moving is more than enough. Once fully finished I would like to use it for my thesis.
The thing is: I would like these agents to learn in real time, without predefined data set. That is, the network receives a stimulus, reacts and applies a learning rule while the game is running. Kind of like Norns in the Creatures game series.
Where should I start? Are there any libraries I should/could use? Are there any guides or tutorials that could help me?
I appreciate your input.
