Hello,
I have been working briefly on an AI DLL that works for sprites.

So far its coming to be pretty successful. I would like people to comment on the current progress I have.

Included in the download I have the DLL to drop into your Plugins-User folder and two examples. One of which is a Pong example and the other is just an example of AI following the player.

I am pretty sure I documented the examples well enough.

I would appreciate any comments, suggestions, bugs reports, ect. If you enjoy this version of the DLL then go ahead and use it in your programs.

Thanks,
The Lone Programmer

Make it 3d, would cover a whole lot more people, with a bigger response on code...

I appreciate the feedback. I plan on having some 3D complete by next Saturday. Can't program during the week because of school.

As for AI commands. Do you have any suggestions?


Thanks,

I left that part up to the user.

I added a command for the 2D AI which is:
Integer = AI_2D_Active(AI_Number, Player_Number)

That would be where you imply the shooting code. The command:
Setup_AI_Zone AI_Number, minX, minY, maxX, maxY

That command is the zone to decide how far away the AI is from the player before it detects it.

So if you want the AI to detect the player at maybe 10ft maybe try something like:
Setup_AI_Zone AI_Number, 10, 10, 10, 10

I am pretty sure in 2D, space is represented as pixels apart, but you should get the idea.

If I took over the AI too deeply, then it would be molded for specific purposes only.

Like maybe I made a command that told an AI to shoot when it became in range. Well then the AI's purpose would be more than likely for a shooter.

I want what one may call "A Well Rounded AI" meaning works in any situation. I would like to be able to set up the user to easily be able to imply whatever specific purpose the AI will be used for, whether it be racing, shooter, arcade, rpg, ect.


I am still working on a 3D AI DLL, and I am hoping it to be done, or close to it by the end of the week. Please keep up suggestions, comments, or anything else.

Thanks,
The Lone Programmer

I would like some AI with action commands (ie, go here, press this, do this..) Other than that, whatever you want to put into is just fine with me.

I will consider it. It will definately add limitations to the AI commands potential, but maybe I will add both manual coding commands, and action commands so there is choice.

I appreciate the advice.

I think this plugin is awesome, good job.
I love it being for 2d; I would say, keep it 2d, and make another plugin for 3d.
Just... awesome.
