Hi Guys, I'm new to AI and game programming in general, however i've been lumbered with a project to make a 3d game in which an enemy team work together using AI (probabalistic pathfinding using a modified A* algorithm) Basically I would like to know the best (preferably open source) game engine to use, my tutor said there should be one that stands out for use with AI. I may have narrowed it down to Ogre3d or 3dGameStudio but if there's any others let me know. Thanks in advance, Leigh

Ogre3D is fine, I'm using it myself to prototype an AI for a simulation game:

I wanted to do this in C++ as I had an AI framework to test in that language, however, if you're not constrained by language, I would recommend a higher-level language like Python.

Either Python-Ogre or even Panda 3D are much faster to work with, and make it easier to manage game logic, etc...

I hope that helps!
