Open Online AI course by Stanford University

[Steven Aus]

There is an open online AI course being held by Stanford University, which can
be taken in Basic or Advanced Modes.

I have local university work to do at the same time, so I might not be able to
take the course, especially the Advanced one with exams. I encourage anybody
interested in AI and the fheroes2 project who has the time to seriously
consider taking on Stanford University's Online AI course to give it a go, and
share with us what you've learned! =)

Best regards,
Steven.

Has anyone signed up to do this course? I'd be interested as to how it goes!
=)

Best regards,
Steven.

I hope you figure that "game AI" and "real AI" are two different things ;-).
Besides, suggesting such courses here is dangerous - those who take them might
lose interest in games forever, and instead go doing real thing ;-).

[Steven Aus]

Well, I guess I figured that real AI could be used for game AI too. =) But if
you think it is better not to talk about an Online AI course on this project's
forums, then I would consider removing this thread. :-)

(Games are important too you know!)

Best regards,
Steven.

I have signed it. I think real AI it's aplicable to emulated world, maybe not
equal but it can be as same thinking.

then I would consider removing this thread. :-)

No, I don't mean that of course ;-). But I guess it would be more useful to
collect links to game AI libraries/articles instead (the to review them for
applicability to fheroes2, then ...). Here's one I saw recently for example
