The Complexity Analysis for Game Map Based on the Summation of XOR

Article Preview

Abstract:

The complexity of map scenes of computer games has important influence to the degree of games difficulty, and it is also the key factor of pathfinding performance. In this paper, a kind of maps complexity metric index which based on the accumulation of xor is defined. The index calculates map complexity through accumulating the xor-value of each adjacent cells line by line. The experimental results demonstrates that the metric index is highly relative with the efficiency of A* and HPA* algorithm. It can provide reference for the design of game maps.
