AI for Game Developers

AI for Game Developers

By David M. Bourg, Glenn Seeman

Publisher: O'Reilly

Pub Date: July 2004

ISBN: 0-596-00555-5

Pages: 400

Written for the novice AI programmer, AI for Game Developers introduces you to techniques such as finite state
machines, fuzzy logic, neural networks, and many others, in straightforward, easy-to-understand language,
supported with code samples throughout the entire book (written in C/C++). From basic techniques such as
chasing and evading, pattern movement, and flocking to genetic algorithms, the book presents a mix of
deterministic (traditional) and non-deterministic (newer) AI techniques aimed squarely at beginners AI developers.
