Organized into 7 sections, this comprehensive volume explores every important aspect of AI programming to help you develop and expand your own personal AI toolbox.
You'll find ready-to-use ideas, algorithms, and code in all key AI areas including general wisdom, scripting and dialogue, movement and pathfinding, architecture, tactics and planning, genre specific, and learning and adaptation. New to this volume are articles on recent advances in realistic agent, squad, and vehicle movement, as well as dynamically changing terrain, as exemplified in such popular games as Company of Heroes.
You'll also find information on planning as a key game architecture, as well as important new advances in learning algorithms and player modeling. AI Game Programming Wisdom 4 features coverage of multiprocessor architectures, Bayesian networks, planning architectures, conversational AI, reinforcement learning, and player modeling. These valuable and innovative insights and issues offer the possibility of new game AI experiences and will undoubtedly contribute to taking the games of tomorrow to the next level.

Dynamic Variables and Audio Programming. I was so scarred by my godawful, incredibly academic, college AI course that I only remembered the bullshit that we actually covered in that course.
Literally nothing in the course was worth wasting my time on, and it looks like we went purposefully around anything that might have been relevant or interesting. Both had mindbogglingly abstract, mathematically-oriented profs, who spent every lecture transcribing proofs from the textbook onto the blackboard. How do you teach a course on these subjects and have no assignments that involve writing code? I had a very similar experience as you wrt AI and algorithms courses. Oddly enough, when I then later started exploring these more on my own I found them much more interesting.
Jare on Jan 4, root parent prev next [—]. It was the reference book for game AI programmers when there were no game AI books. GuiA on Jan 4, parent prev next [—]. They're just part of the same series; the format of the books is more akin to a collection of articles all by different authors from the industry , grouped by topic.
The main critics against them are that 1 the material can be dated these books are from the early s and 2 some of the content can be found online for free. They're still good resources to have on your shelves IMO. It is not academic or theoretical by any means, but that's one of its strong traits - it's code driven. It was my first AI read while in high school, and I really recommend it. The perfect audience for that would be a motivated teenager or undergrad who knows enough programming to make small games, but hasn't taken full AI courses yet.
It's great to learn from it as part of a focused course while you're still getting familiar with the field, and it's also great to flip to a random chapter every once in a while to revisit the basics when you're a more mature professional. It's more high level and philosophical, but it's definitely worth it. It's almost 30 years old though, and I'm not sure how much his work has held up to modern theories - I don't follow that field too closely.
It touches on game theory, utility functions, probability distributions, etc. I think it's the most mathy an AI text can be before becoming pretty much pure math, which is great- it's a great stepping stone for the folks who are programmers first and who want to know more of the math theory behind it all whether just for understanding or to be able to build their own algorithms. That is what I plan to do. Animats on Jan 5, prev next [—]. There's nothing on that list on locomotion or physical coordination.
We have enough compute power now that game characters can have robot-type control algorithms, so the motion really looks right. Of course, if you have physically-based martial arts in a game, all the things go wrong that go wrong in a real dojo.
Some people will like that; they're the ones who buy Formula I racing games where you get to tune the car. Excellent timing for me.
