Re: [TuxKart-devel] Ideas for AI

[Flash <fl...@da...>]

Looks like a damned good idea, the pictures really make it clear to, this
is what I tried to say with my picture to. I would just suggest on top of
your pictures add points of interest and points of non interest which wil=
l
be  the form of 'good' and 'bad' herrings so the AI can either try to go
around them or try to catch them on top of just following the arrows.
