MAP-Elites algorithm generates diverse FPS game maps

Researchers have explored the use of the MAP-Elites algorithm, a quality diversity technique, for procedurally generating maps for first-person shooter (FPS) games. The study introduced novel map representations, including Point-Line and Spatial-Layout, alongside existing All-Black and Grid-Graph methods. By defining metrics for topological and emergent gameplay properties, the team identified key features to guide the MAP-Elites illumination process, ultimately generating diverse and high-quality FPS maps.
