It’s interesting from more than a marketing perspective because it reveals many challenges that should be familiar to developers working on first-person shooters. A big thanks goes to Remco Straatman for pointing out some of these issues and the […]

AI research ties into games and simulations in many ways, but one of the most fascinating is the evolution of artificial life. Here’s a compilation of the best videos and white papers about applying genetic algorithms to generating the morphology and behavior of virtual embodied creatures in 3D worlds.

I won’t be releasing the rest of the video immediately, but if you […]

Here’s a seven minute teaser video for my talk at Apply AI 2007 this coming Thursday in London.

Most games have good AI these days, and most often they’ll use a hierarchical state machine. But this approach has many challenges…
