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”?
