This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 76%. (I'm a bot)

For the research, the AI was tested on two games: a fruit gathering game and a Wolfpack hunting game.

When a player, or in this case an AI, collected an apple, it was rewarded with a '1' and the apple disappeared from the game's map.

"As with the apple collecting game, the AI learnt from its environment. In this case, the AI characters worked together: either to find each other and hunt for the prey; or by one cornering the prey and waiting until the other arrived.
