Description:

Perfect for intermediate to advanced game programmers, this book shows readers how to use AI programming tools and techniques to create more realistic and interesting behaviors in video games. Readers are shown various ways of using statistics, formulas, and algorithms to create believable simulations and to model behavior. Additionally, the book introduces a number of tools that can be used in conjunction with standard AI algorithms to make it easier to use the mathematical models. The included CD will have code samples and ready-to-use tools that readers can drop into their projects to extend their functionality.
