ISSUE 7: Do you read me, HAL?

We’ll be giving the bad guys pursue, attack, flyby and flee behaviours. How do we do this without all of the bad guys behaving identically? If we’re not careful they will flock together and fall into synchronized movements. Worse, they could be predictable (not much fun for a game!). Artificial intelligence (AI) is an interesting subject. Is the solution smoke and mirrors or do we need to program something “intelligent”?

MGF MAGAZINE
MGF MAGAZINE ISSUES are organised into VOLUMES. All of our content makes use of software & tools that are available for FREE.

To follow MGF you will need nothing more than PC literacy - you do not already need to be a programmer or IT professional! From there, start at Volume 1, Issue 1 or jump into a later Issue if you feel ready.

ISSUES
Each Issue (TUTORIAL) has a purpose and point. You will always see progress in the development of your game. Issues are short and snappy, as they should be, backed up by video, audio and imagery where necessary.

VOLUMES
Each Volume (ARCHIVE) completes with a fully finished playable game that will work on Windows, Mac, Linux and can even be run in a Web Browser! Each Volume targets a specific game genre.
