What sort of scientific research are you doing?

Are you talking about distributing the work to multiple computers across the internet ?

You can do research with Game Studio by producing advanced "Learning Based" Artificial Intelligence systems. One research company in England produced such a system but with their own game engine. The article said they produced the artificial intelligence modules so their characters "LEARNED" new behaviors based upon their environment.

Artificial Life or "A-Life" refers to multi-agent systems that attempt to apply some of the universal properties of living systems to Ai agents in virtual worlds.

I think what they made were Neural Networks
but then again i know little about neural networks, so i may be totally wrong.

has anyone in the forum added flocking succesfully to thair AI, i would really like to know that?

and for those who do not know what it is.......

Flocking: is a subcatagory of "A-Life" that focuses on techniques for cordinating such that AI agent manuever remarkably lifelike herds and flocks.

doesnt seem like it would be too hard... just like the world, you'd have to have alot of randomness... well alot of stuff based on little things...

im kinda working on smart ai... i try to get all the factors to influence their attitude and relationships with others... i started with having 700 in a city... then it went down to 150-200 when i realized how slow it got once it reached 300 people... the hardest part so far is path finding... i think i'll be able to do the other stuff more easier then the path finding. im trying to keep my game simple yet complex(hard for me to do).. by that i mean i want to let the player play the game simplely... but i want the peds to be complex with their thoughts and why they do things... my game is basically a life simulation(like the sims except 3rd person, and with the bad parts of life accessable... you could say a gta+sims game)...

so i think it will require me to do alot... dont think it would get anywhere near the level of a-life(then again i dont really know how far that is)... woah... ive said too much... but back to flocking... i think it should just be a combination of enviorment, variables of the AI's mind, and situation... then again i dont really know much about AI yet... i just know how to think [Smile] ...
