So as we all should know AI is a fairly important part of games, especially RPG/Adventure type games, so how is it done? I’ve given the idea some thought but I’m really not sure where to begin.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!
It’s an incredibly broad topic that covers a LOT of different areas and techniques. Check out: http://aigamedev.com/
It isn’t really something that can be answered by ‘how is it done’ - you might as well be asking how rendering is done, or how game logic is done!
I agree with @Ultima2876 . For example, if all you wanted was something like a Goomba from Mario, you could do something like what I posted in this thread: Help! Enemy AI problem [SOLVED]
