This paper presents our work to enhance the background music (BGM) in
DareFightingICE by adding an adaptive BGM. The adaptive BGM consists of five
different instruments playing a classical music piece called "Air on G-String."
The BGM adapts by changing the volume of the instruments. Each instrument is
connected to a different element of the game. We then run experiments to
evaluate the adaptive BGM by using a deep reinforcement learning AI that only
uses audio as input (Blind DL AI). The results show that the performance of the
Blind DL AI improves while playing with the adaptive BGM as compared to playing
without the adaptive BGM.Comment: This paper under review is made available for participants of
