Introduction

The hide and seek game is one of the most popular games for children and is often played in recreation events. In an effort to make the play experience more interesting, this research aims to design a hide and seek game that integrates virtual reality technology (VR) with artificial intelligence, especially the pathfinding algorithm. In this design, VR is used to create a realistic 3D environment, so players can feel the sensation as if they are truly in the game of hide and seek games. In addition, the use of artificial intelligence through the A* algorithm provides the ability for animated characters to develop the best strategies in finding hiding players.

The Importance of Artificial Intelligence in Game Development

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a crucial component in game development, enabling the creation of more realistic and engaging gameplay experiences. The A* algorithm, in particular, is a popular choice for pathfinding in games due to its efficiency and effectiveness in finding the shortest path between two points. By incorporating AI into the hide and seek game, we can create a more challenging and immersive experience for players.

Design and Implementation

The process of developing this game involves several important stages. First, the VR environmental design is carried out to create an immersive atmosphere. Realistic environment allows players to feel the preoccupation of hide and seek in more depth. Furthermore, the implementation of the A* algorithm is the key in determining the fastest path taken by the search character to find a hiding player. This algorithm is known to be effective in solving the pathfinding problem by providing optimal paths, so that it can improve play experience.

VR Environmental Design

The VR environmental design is a critical component of the game, as it sets the tone for the overall experience. A well-designed environment can transport players to a new and exciting world, making the game more engaging and immersive. In this design, we used a combination of 3D modeling and texturing techniques to create a realistic and detailed environment.

Implementation of the A Algorithm*

The A* algorithm is a popular choice for pathfinding in games due to its efficiency and effectiveness in finding the shortest path between two points. In this implementation, we used a modified version of the A* algorithm to take into account the game's specific requirements. The algorithm is used to determine the fastest path taken by the search character to find a hiding player.

User Interface Integration

After the design and implementation stage of the algorithm, the next step is to integrate user-friendly interfaces for VR players. A good interface facilitates the interaction of players with a virtual environment, providing convenience in accessing various features available. In addition, this interface is also designed to be intuitive, so players can immediately understand how to play without confusion.

User Testing and Response

Testing is carried out to assess the performance and responsiveness of the game that has been developed. The results of the test showed the accumulation of positive responses of 85.49% of the user to all aspects asked about the application. This shows that the game is not only fun, but also effective in utilizing VR technology and artificial intelligence.

Added Value for Game Development

The use of VR and AI in this hide and seek game not only enhances play experience, but also contributes to the field of game technology development. By combining the two technologies, developers can create more interactive and interesting games, while providing insights about the application of algorithms in the context of the game. In addition, this project also has the potential to be applied in various other game genres, opening opportunities for innovation in the gaming industry.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the use of VR and AI in the hide and seek game has the potential to revolutionize the gaming industry. By combining the two technologies, developers can create more immersive and engaging gameplay experiences. The A* algorithm, in particular, is a powerful tool for pathfinding in games, enabling the creation of more realistic and challenging gameplay experiences. This research aims to contribute to the field of game technology development, providing insights about the application of algorithms in the context of the game.

Future Work

Future work in this area could involve exploring the use of other AI algorithms in game development, such as machine learning or deep learning. Additionally, the development of more advanced VR technology could enable the creation of even more immersive and engaging gameplay experiences. By continuing to push the boundaries of what is possible in game development, we can create more realistic and engaging gameplay experiences for players.
