Hey, I am beginner game programmer with basic knowledge of DirectX and C-Plus Plus. I would like to learn Game AI. I wanted to know which is the best book that can help me learn it. Money isnt a problem. I have heard good things about "Programming Game AI by Example", but is it the best ? I have a college project. I thought about making something using AI, so that i can learn it too. I would like it to be graphically attractive. So i was thinking of making a graphical AI demo. One idea currently in my mind is demonstrating flocking using a 3D aquarium with animated fishes. Can i do this in 1 month's time ? Please forward me to any resources that can help me in my project. Any other suggestions for the project also welcome

Here are a few links:

I don't wish to hijack the OPs thread but just wanted to thanks for that first link Tom. [smile]
