Machine visual learning A.I. DOOM deathmatch:

“Ratcliffe told me he took a hands-off approach to training, preferring the agent to learn by itself what enemies are, what death is, what health packs are and so on. "I think it's dangerous to start encoding your own domain knowledge into these agents as it inhibits their ability to generalize across games," he explained. "I simply gave it a reward for killing opponents and increasing its health, ammo or armor."”

https://www.engadget.com/2016/09/22/facebook-and-intel-reign-supreme-in-doom-ai-deathmatch/

What we're seeing here isn't standard bot code. This is an alien mind that learned to play DOOM by watching pixels, and by receiving rewards when getting frags, or picking up health/armor:
