Hey,
I program video games and I've decided I want to make one with simulated people and stuff. I was wondering what was the best program for AI (if there is a program).

THANX!

I think AI is basically just A LOOOOOT of if statements. Based on the outcome of these the "person" determines what to do. It would be good to lay out your AI in a flowchart before programming it too. Trust me, it's not fun [addsig]

I'm not so sure about what dxprog just said... you can program neural nets if you want to get fancy, it all depends on what level of AI we're talking about.

There are lots of ways to get started, but if you've never programmed before I wouldn't start with a complete game with intellegent people. Start with a book like C++ in 21 Days, and work you're way up. Artificial Intellegence is an interesting field, because often a method of doing something works far better than the conventional "textbook" methode. Good luck!
