neural networks are not accidentally not used in games. a hierarchical state machine or a behavior tree is much simpler and faster to develop, modify/tweak, extend and to debug, and their performance is good enough.

basically they can be implemented as if-else logic, and helped by some stored parameters showing which state/branch/node is running... I did it in lite-c, it was easy after I simply hand-drawn a behavior tree.

I know, I know.

For me it is all about the ecstatics, using as few tricks is possible, an sincere experience.

Finding art in inefficiency. It makes just as much sense as playing video games ^^
