I'm really sorry to put a request for a tutorial, but I cannot find a basic AI tutorial anywhere. I've been googling for almost an hour, been to many forums ect.. Could someone please point me in the direction of a basic AI tutorial? (Because I'm sure you wouldn't want to explain it all to me yourself -.-) Again, sorry for requesting a tutorial on this forum, please forgive. >.>
AI is generally too wide a subject to give you a tutorial on it. It would be like having a tutorial on writing, or mathematics. If you want to learn more about what Artificial Intelligence means, the Wikipedia article is a reasonable starting point. If you want to accomplish a certain task - and AI isn't a task, but a wide classification of approaches to carrying out tasks - then specify that task, and we can possibly direct you more accurately.

Another answer is books. The printed kind. There are numerous ones that cover AI from the ground up.

"Reducing the world to mathematical equations!"

Personally I would start with Text AI. Before jumping into anything like 2D/3D game AI. Using while loops and if statements of a input using console in C++. Then try making things more complex like trying to make as if your APP was human talking back and try to have the APP ask question if it didn't know a piece of text.

C++ Tutorials I Found Or Recorded

Once you gotten tiered of working with the console for trying to make conversations or making your app ask questions. Then try moving up a level when you think your ready. My site also includes a lot of sources of Game Dev so be sure to enter some keywords of what your looking for or want too know.
