Abstract
An Internet Java Applet http://www.cs.essex.ac.uk/staff/poli/SoloPong/ allows users anywhere to play the Solo Pong game. We compare people\´s performance to a hand coded "optimal" player and programs automatically produced by computational intelligence. The computational intelligence techniques are: genetic programming, including a hybrid of GP and a human designed algorithm, and a particle swarm optimiser. The computational intelligence approaches are not fine tuned. GP and PSO find good players. Evolutionary computation (EC) is able to beat both human designed code and human players.
