Free A.I. Plugins / Libraries
Author
Hi, not sure if I should have posted this here or in the Artifical Intelligence topic area, but anyway...
Im looking for a list of free (preferably Open Source) A.I. libraries that people can use to plugin to their games / apps.
I have no experiance with A.I., so I would like to start off my learning by using existing A.I. code in my initial game development projects.
I have already come across OpenSteer (http://opensteer.sourceforge.net/) which looks very good...its this sort of thing I am after.
So, any hints as to where I should start looking would be appreciated.
Cheers
Hiya
AI is a very fun science and I would suggest trying to learn it from the groud up. You can learn a lot from open source games, but I would suggest reading the articles here first or else you probably won't understand whats going on. This is a really really awsome site dedicated to ai.
I would strongly suggest reading up on FSM's or finite state machines first. There one of the most 'easiest' methods, but can produce some awsome results. Actually, most games even now days use this approach.
AI also covers path finding. One of the most commonly used methods is the A* (A-Star) algo. This stuff can get pretty complex, so be prepared.
Alrighty, good luck and happy coding!
