Cheating with AI will be possible even with server side rendering ; nvidia has released models able to learn to play - it's going to be very difficult to detect whether it's an AI or a human ; very impressive however
If someone makes an AI that plays the game as a good player, then it’s effectively indistinguishable from a real player who is good. If they make it super-humanly good, then it would probably be detectable anyway.
It’s still fair in the sense that all players have the same (intended) information per the game rules.
- take a screenshot
- run massive skeletal detection on it to get the skeletons of any humanoids
- of those skeletons, pick a target closest to the player
- for that target, get coordinates of head node
- run a PID to control the cursor to where the head node is located
- move the camera one frame, repeat the whole process. If you can fit that pipeline to 16ms it can run in real time.
Someone has even rigged up a system like that to a TENS system to stimulate the nerves in their arm and hand to move the mouse in the correct direction and fire when the crosshair is over the enemy.
We are definitely already there.
holy shit that's amazing.
