Abstract:

 ABSTRACT The interaction of games with humans dates back to the earliest known times of history. The changes that people have undergone throughout history have affected the games they played in almost every period, and the game has changed along with people. At the point reached today with technological leaps, man has tended to exceed the limits of his own intelligence and has begun to move his life to a more inorganic structure by improving the possibilities at his disposal. Today, artificial intelligence applications that center on the imitation of human intelligence are technologies that feed this inorganic structure and integrate into peoples daily life. These practices, which do not have a very old history, have begun to be included in the normal course of human life on an increasing scale and have also affected his understanding of games. Traditional games played in daily life have been replaced by digital games played in the virtual environment. In this study, the development of digital games and artificial intelligence from past to present is discussed separately and how artificial intelligence applications are used in digital game design processes is examined. For this purpose, the first-person shooter game called F.E.A.R, released in 2005, was examined in terms of the artificial intelligence applications it uses, and then new trends in the artificial intelligence applications used in todays digital games were discussed. The aim of this study is to reveal the ongoing journey of artificial intelligence applications with digital games, which have begun to become an undeniable part of human life, and to present the point where artificial intelligence has reached today, together with the new trends in digital games. Understanding the dimensions of the interaction of digital games with artificial intelligence applications is important in terms of predicting the future position of the digital game industry and the innovations it will offer to humans. Keywords: Dijital Game, Artifical İntelligence, Machine Learning.

 ÖZ Oyunun insanla etkileşimi tarihin bilinen en eski zamanlarına dek uzanır. Tarihsel süreçte insanların geçirdiği değişimler, hemen hemen her dönem onların oynadıkları oyunları da etkilemiş, insanla beraber oyun da değişmiştir. Teknolojik sıçramalarla bugün gelinen noktada kendi zekasının sınırlarını aşmaya yönelen insan, elindeki imkanları geliştirerek yaşamını daha inorganik bir yapıya taşımaya başlamıştır. Günümüzde insan zekasının taklidini merkeze alan yapay zeka uygulamaları bu inorganik yapıyı besleyen ve insanın gündelik yaşamına entegre olan teknolojilerdir. Çok eski bir geçmişe sahip olmayan bu uygulamalar insan yaşamının normal seyrine gitgide artan bir ölçekle dahil olmaya başlamış ve onun oyun anlayışını da etkilemiştir. Gündelik yaşamda oynanan geleneksel oyunlar yerini sanal ortamda oynanan dijital oyunlara bırakmıştır. Bu çalışmada, dünden bugüne dijital oyunların ve yapay zekanın gelişimine ayrı ayrı yer verilmiş ve gelinen noktada yapay zeka uygulamalarının dijital oyun tasarlama süreçlerinde ne şekilde kullanıldıkları incelenmiştir. Buna yönelik olarak, 2005 yılında piyasaya çıkan birinci şahıs nişancı türündeki F.E.A.R adlı oyun kullandığı yapay zeka uygulamaları açısından incelenmiş ve ardından günümüz dijital oyunları ölçeğinde kullanılan yapay zeka uygulamalarına yönelik yeni eğilimler ele alınmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, insan yaşamının yadsınamaz bir parçası haline gelmeye başlayan yapay zeka uygulamalarının dijital oyunlarla süregelen yolculuğunu ortaya koyarak, bugün yapay zekanın geldiği noktayı dijital oyunlar ekseninde, var olan yeni eğilimlerle beraber tartışmaya sunmaktır. Dijital oyunların yapay zeka uygulamalarıyla etkileşiminin boyutlarını anlaşılması, gelecekte dijital oyun sektörünün geleceği konumu ve insana sunacağı yenilikleri öngörmek açısından önemlidir Anahtar Kelimeler: Dijital Oyun, Yapay Zeka, Makine Öğrenmesi.
