Making an Agent
August 17, 2002 01:03 AM
Ok, I just started getting into the AI thang. I was reading a article in a DirectX book and the graphics that were displayed were by FSMs. So I looked on Google and ran into tons of AI sites. Most of them trying to explain a little about FSM and how they can be used.
Little did I know I''v been using them all the time. So I thought I would try and create some sort of FSM agent that had a special purpose. I want to get to know the frame work first. I have had no luck finding any good articles that explain good algorithms for putting peacing together the frame work for a Agent (FSM).
What I want is some good info on designing a system. What type of classes, structures and methods of C++ that should be used. The type of AI I need to make is somthing pretty basic for now. I want it to be able react off sertain thangs in its enviorment. I want some basic attack knolage and thats about it for now. Later I want to add a learning system. Witch I heard most of this stuff can be based all of a FSM.
This is something I just came up with. Its just a laout of thangs. I want to code a good frame work and layout. So then I have something to build off of.
I wanted to get a FSM framework setup like the ones in QUAKEs. Because I like they way they work from what I''v head. Those type of algorythms is what I''m talking about.
