AI System Progress with Video
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTzLlRFga_M
These days, I've been making a lot of progress on my AI engine. The basic framework is running now and you can see that in this video. The AI system is telling the little bot where to go. I'm still in the early stages of development so the path is still hard coded into the demo but I'm happy that I'm now at a place where I can concentrate on actual AI code more.
My goal going into to this was to build an AI system that would be useful for different types of games. As you can see in the video, the AI system is working on a simple 2D game. I also have a text based sample project and the main game that I am building this for will be a 3D multiplayer game. Internally, how does this all work? Games are so different that it's not easy to make a unified AI system so my goal was merely to provide the parts needed for AI that could be used in various game types and still allow the developer to build the AI by adding code directly to the system using C++ or by using scripting languages such as AngelScript or Lua. The AI system works like this:
Next Steps:
Currently everything is hard coded, but I want to provide a C++ interface so the AI programmer will be able to code custom behaviors. Then I want to expand that to include use a scripting language. After that, I'll start working on the navigation system. I'll continue to post information on my blog. For more videos, you can check out my YouTube channel.

The AI system works like this:
- Retrieve inputs from the game engine
- Process the current AI states
- Send simple tasks to the game engine for each AI agent
