# Schedule
This is a directed study in Computer Science. In Spring 2024, we will work on a project on training AI agents (NPCs) in video games, which involves reinforcement learning (to explore the environment and learn optimal actions), game theory (to compute optimal responses to other NPCs), and some computer graphics (to simulate the environment).
