First Presentation: To Do

Reading:
1) Basic reading on Intelligent Agents (esp from Norvig & Russell) Try and include a few papers esp. one on difference between software and an agent

2) Terrain Generation algorithms
a Midpoint Displacement/Diamond-Square
b Collaging/Faulting
c Particle Deposition
d Perlin Noise
e Physical=based and derivative methods
f Composition of functions
g From actual data (last choice)



Objectives and Milestones
To complete a basic terrain generator and an agent which can go from pt A to pt B, by Feb. end
