Re: [Algorithms] Ideas for an AI scheme

[Jon W. <jw...@gm...>]

Will you have tools to generate the XML, or will game designers code the XML
by hand?
Have you looked at existing middleware packages with state machine set-ups,
like AI.Implant, SimBionics, xaitment etc? (I don't think Kynapse is that
high leve, but I could be wrong)

Sincerely,

jw
