My main suggestion, as in my blog entry, is to start by simply following way points, then overlay additional control based on game behaviors: so, the game AI moves the vehicle but at the same time the vehicle's position is lerped back to the way point path. Looks interesting and realistic, but this technique keeps the AI vehicles more or less where you want them.Mark Watson, author and consultanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05514730816583918651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025880770474050744.post-64262272565706588332007-05-02T11:03:00.000-07:002007-05-02T11:03:00.000-07:00Interesting post indeed. I had to figure out these things myself, from my own experimentation (and of course lots of playing GTA and Mario Kart). Maybe I should have read your book.<BR/><BR/>Have you done any work on evolving drivers for racing games? If so, have you written anything up as papers, so one does not have to read a whole book? I've been working quite a bit on this, and I find racing games a really good domain for research in how to evolve artificial intelligence. There are some papers on my web site about this, and some posts (with videos) on my blog as well.Togeliushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09333191187316058782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025880770474050744.post-9620449463908643162007-05-01T04:15:00.000-07:002007-05-01T04:15:00.000-07:00Really interesting post!<BR/>Although I am not into game development, I find your explanations on AI very easy to follow and of practical usage for general AI problem solving!<BR/>You really give nice insights from a quite high level but nevertheless concerned with real-life software development problems.Javarunnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15916288787104995381noreply@blogger.com
