Gaming Science

Have you ever performed experiments within a gaming environment to learn basic truths of the universe? For instance in Halo 3 Forge I created a zoo for grunts and let them roam under various circumstances to learn the path finding features of the AI engine Bungie used. This allowed me to hunt grunts better in the campaign.

No. I like a mixture of planning and adapting and find too much planning can make the game play too easy.
