oh.. nice, thanks, i'll work on this then.. hopefully i can get something unique out of all this

I just want to note, that you may chose by your own, wich AI is best for your project: A-star, or Perfect AI, or something else like Razor, IntenseX and so on

but isnt there a difference between say A-star and perfect AI?

Yes, it is a VERY big difference between a-star and perfect

Thats why i said to you: you may chose one, wich of them is best for your project

For example, Perfect AI is good for huge static levels and for non-cells games (like CS, Half-life and so on)
A-star is better in dynamic usage and its good for cells-games (like Heroes, KingsBounty, and so on, where characters are placed on cells)

Here is a screenshot from my "cell-game": characters would be placed in the cells on the sides of cube, thats why i chose a-star for this project

wow, guess i have alot to learn before i jump into AI.. i'll start reading some threads... any links that could give me a thorough understanding of each of them?

google for astar, and read AUMs for Perfect AI

I worked all last summer with old Perfect IA (29-32 aums), but looking like there are new Perfect AI in new AUMs, somewhere about 60

Btw, quite good link about a-star:
