Is it possible to put AI into a game and if so could someone tell me how?

Yes it is possible, but no we can't ... you have given us no clue as to what type of game you want to do. Is it a board game? fps? rts? a fighting game?

In reality all Artificial Intelligence boils down to is a simple decision tree. If condition “a� then do this, if “b� do that. The only other thing is to allow the computer some randomness i.e. if conditions “a� and “b� are equal use random function to choose between.

Sry for being scant on the details. The game we're trying to create is sort of hard to describe. Basically a alien crash lands in a school and takes over the princapal. A kid has to trick the alien into his own defeat . What type is this?

That's still not really enough....

I try not to think about AI specifically, just build it into the same rules as basic gameplay. In one of my many unfinished masterpieces, you could consider a computer-controlled player fetching the ball to be AI, but it's just a set of actions until a condition is met :

(sorry to do it c-style, but I think it reads easier)

while (!bGotBall)
{
faceTheBall()
walkForward()
if (playerTouchingBall()) bGotBall = true;
}

so, this player will be forever chasing the ball until he gets it. That's one tiny little subset of AI. You need to take care of path-finding (which can include waypoints, or just getting around obstacles), enemy ai (flee/attack principles), team ai (if applicable) ....

In true DBP newcomer style, it sounds like you've bitten off more than you can chew. That's not a slight on you, it just seems that plenty of recent newcomers don't seem to appreciate that a programming language is just that - a programming language, nothing more.
